Lyrics

One Mean Enchilada

Dan Bobbitt/Kerry Ford/Mark Carson © 2006

Took a little weekend trip
Destination unknown
Found myself in Jose?s cantina in old Mexico
Suddenly a vision appeared
Took my breath away
God must be missing an angel
Tell me of this woman, Jose

He said her skin is as soft as a desert flower
She?s as a sweet as Sangria wine
Her eyes hold the beauty of a thousand sunsets
Painted across a fiery sky
Oh, I did mention she?s my only daughter
And her father?s is one mean enchilada

So I had to ask myself
What kind of enchilada is he--cheesy or chicken
Whatever kinda beef he?ll have with me
Is it work taking a licking

I did a double take while he poured
One more double shot
Tequila took the coward away
Believe it or not
Jose grabbed my arm as he said, Don?t try it amigo
There?s plenty of room in the graveyard
Don?t mix your heart with the Cuervo

(chorus)

I put my arms around her
The last thing I remembered
Was the sound of shattering glass around my head
They dumped me at the border
As I was crossing over
The guard took one quick look and said let me guess

I?ll bet her skin is as soft as a desert flower
She?s as a sweet as Sangria wine
Her eyes hold the beauty of a thousand sunsets
Painted across a fiery sky
By the way, I?m sure that he mentioned she?s his only daughter
And her father is one mean enchilada
Yeah her father is one mean enchilada
