[Verse 1]
Lights along the border
Two more lonely hours and I can go
Across the Rio Grande and Laredo
Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waiting in Old Mexico
She's a rich Señor's daughter
And he sure ain't going to like it when he knows
But I damn sure fight him and half of Texas
Because Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waiting in Old Mexico

[Chorus]
High Sierra
Where evening breeze
Blows the tumble weeds along
My Sombrero
And there's million stars
And a thousand guitars
Always playing my song

[Verse 2]
Just a wild crazy cowboy
And I still don't like the way they rodeo
But I'll give up my wild oats for her sweet love
Because Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waiting in Old Mexico
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Lights along the border
Two more lonely hours and I can go
Across the Rio Grande and Laredo
Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waiting in Old Mexico

[Outro]
Maria Teresa Marina Martinez
Is waitin' in Old Mexico
