She blew into this old one horse town

Like something we ain't never seen

Old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill

She tied that apron 'round her jeans

I started hanging out there every night

Just to hear her talk and laugh

I couldn't help but fall in love with her

I should've known it wouldn't last

She always talked about Mexico

I never thought my love could make her settle down

I guess I know better now

She's probably living down there by the sea

I wonder if she ever thinks of me

One morning she was gone like the wind

She won't be back this way again

Old Bill could tell that I was missing her

As he poured me a drink

Said if you put a wild bird in a cage

You'll break it's will to sing

If that's true then she's better off

Still out there wild and free

So I bought straight tequila all around

Said,"Boy,here's to her memory"

She always talked about Mexico

I never thought my love could make her settle down

I guess I know better now

She's probably living down there by the sea

I wonder if she ever thinks of me

One morning she was gone like the wind

She won't be back this way again
