lyrics

Every year along about this time it all goes dry
Looking around for love or money that’ll get you high
Henry got pissed off and said he’d run to Mexico
See if he could come back holding twenty keys of gold

Now the road to Acapulco is very hard indeed
And it isn’t any better if you haven’t any weed
Henry’s driving hard and straight along twisty mountain road
Fifty people waiting back at home for Henry’s load

*** And now he’s rolling down the mountain
Going Fast! Fast! Fast!
And if he blows it this one’s gonna be his last
Run to Acapulco to turn the golden keys
Henry, keep the brakes on for this corner
If you please…

Henry got to Mexico and turned his truck around
Talking with the man who has it growing from the ground
Henry tasted, he got wasted; couldn’t even see
How he’s gonna drive like that is not too clear to me

***

Sunday afternoon Tijuana is a lovely town
The bullfight brings the tourists and their money flowing down
Border guards are much too busy there at five o’clock
Henry’s trucking right on through, and hardly even stopped
