Lyrics
He'd been driving 15 hours
15 more still left to go
He pulled into a small cantina
Down in old New Mexico
When he heard sweet, sweet music
He was drawn to the sound
What he saw was a woman
And he felt himself drown
Chorus:
He was lost right then
The devil took his hand
And led him down that road of lies
He could not resist
The promise in her kiss
And she held him hypnotized
With the fire in her eyes
He tried to fight it
With all his might
He surely knew it was a sin
But she was stronger
She made him want her
And he felt himself give in
Then he thought of his loved one
And the promise he'd made
But the moment their lips met
That love was betrayed
Chorus:
When he woke in the morning
The woman was gone
And he knew in an instant
That he could never go home
