adventures of a young man

Lyrics

I sure wish my trail was just a little bit colder
'Cause it looks like I might not live to grow much older
You know that posse's out there chasin' me oh, they're ridin' hard for law and order
I believe the time has come for me to run south of the border

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Senorita esta muy bonita
Hey, Hey, Hey, mi momacita
I believe the time has come for me to run to Guadalajara
par ver mi novia ella se llama martha

So ride on Southbound Outlaw Man
You got dust on your back trails and a sixgun in your hand
With the hooves a'poundin' - Bullets are flyin'
Yeah, we're racin' 'cross that Senora sand
Ride on el bandito Southbound Outlaw Man

I make love to my Carmen when we're in Recamidio
But I like Consuela the best
Ooh oui!! That Juanita, how she can squeeze ya!
Yeah I put my sweet chiquita to the test
You know the brown skinned ladies are all ready and waiting and I'll get stoned on tequila again
Tropical moonrise, my guitar and my brown eyes will get me some Mexican-style lovin'

But, I sure wish my trail was just a little bit colder
'Cause it looks like I might not live to grow much older
You know that posse's out there chasin' me Oh, they're ridin' hard for law and order
I believe the time has come for me to run south of the border

So, ride on el bandito, Southbound Outlaw Man
Ride on el desperado, Southbound Outlaw Man
Ride on for your freedom, Southbound Outlaw Man
