Story Behind The Song
This song actually started off as a tribute to one of my favorite foods. Growing up in New Mexico, I've had the best chile, both green and red. By the time I got to the last verse, I realized I was writing about something else.

Lyrics
(1st VERSE)
Well I remember the place Las Cruces on the Rio Grande
That's the place where I first held you in my hands
Everybody knows that's your home
The only place where you've ever grown
I'm so glad that you came into my life
I get a craving for you everyday
I really miss you when I'm away
With that ever burnin' fire begging me to stay
(CHORUS)
Green chile - you taste so good in my mouth
Green chile - you taste so good in my mouth
And that's nothin' like the way you feel when you go down
(2nd VERSE)
Ow when I see you sittin' on my plate
I feel my tongue start to palpitate
I get a warm feeling down inside
You take my taste buds for a ride
And you're the only one I know
that makes me feel this way
You should have known that I'd be back
to try to get you into the sack
You're me uncontested favorite natural snack
(CHORUS)
Green chile..............
You start a FIRE in my mouth................
Me vas a quemar, you're gonna burn me up
Me vas a quemar, you're gonna burn me up
And I never ever seem to get enough
