RAININ' IN JUAREZ
Brian Burns – Brian Burns Music (BMI)

I was drivin’ all day long…
Highway 90 rolls like a song,
out on into into the vista, a sky of burnin’ red.
I kept rollin’, never slowed down,
crossed the desert to the very last town,
cuttin’ loose from the dark clouds hangin’ above my head.

Well, I drove all day and I drove all night,
thinkin’ out here in the distance I might
remember she doesn’t always mean what she says,
and damned if it’s not rainin’ in Juarez.

Rio Grande, river in the rain,
Mariachis play a slow refrain
to the sound of the thunder, sundown dead ahead.
This tequila might not ease the pain,
this umbrella sure won’t stop the rain,
but maybe together, they’ll keep it off my head.

Well, I drove all day and I drove all night,
thinkin’ out here in the distance I might
remember she doesn’t always mean what she says,
oh, and damned if it’s not rainin’ in Juarez.

Well, I drove all day and I drove all night,
thinkin’ out here in the distance I might
remember she doesn’t always mean what she says,
and I thought I might get it all back together
if I could outrun this old heavy weather,
and damned if it’s not rainin’ in Juarez.
