COOK YER ENCHILADAS

Got chased out of South Dakota from this little drugstore town
The specific circumstances even made Mt. Rushmore frown
Got so drunk last week in old Juarez, I passed out on the floor
As they drug me cross the border..all I did was scream for more

CHORUS:

But if you cook yer enchiladas I will play you my guitar
Trust me I won't tell the neighbors if you should go a bit too far
I've never known no woman who can baffle me like you do
But if you cook yer enchiladas I will sing a song for you

I've sung the songs and lived the legends as I've stumbled down the path
Of Sam Cooke and Mickey Mantle, Baba Ram Dass and Sylvia Plath
Farting winos, screaming puppets, lone assassins and their guns
Everybody has a noise to make, strange deeds that must be done

(Repeat Chorus)

And in confidence and anger I can rise above defeat
I love life when it's sour I suspect it when it's sweet
And I don't care if you break my heart and do this poor boy wrong
I'll cry for about five minutes, then I'll roast you in a song

(Repeat Chorus)
