Tommy Alverson - "I Don't Think I'll Go To Mexico"

I Don't Think I'll Go To Mexico

Written & Performed by: Tommy Alverson

Intro Chords: D G Em A D (repeat 2 times)

Chorus:
D G Em
I don't think I'll go, cross the border into Mexico
A D
I'm gonna stay right here by my old campfire.
G Em
Just me and my old guitar, underneath Terlingua stars
A
I'm gonna sit right here all night,
D
and watch the old sunrise.

D
Well I've been pickin' with my friends
G
but it seems like they've all turned in.
Em A
I can't make myself go, you know the fire's just right.
D
My old guitar sounds so good,
G Em
you know they say it's all in the wood.
A
But I think it just might be the Terlingua quiet, it's so quiet.

(Repeat Chorus, then instrumental break-same chords.)
D
I ain't in no shape to drive,
G Em
I might not make it back alive.
A D
Besides I'm having way too much fun here on this side.
D
Tell Jose I said "Buenos Dios,"
G Em
Maybe next year he'll get to see us.
A D
We'll have a cold beer or two and stay a little while.

(Repeat Chorus 3 times with slight variations on the words)
