But I knew that that was just a line

B E Esus E

And I knew I was messin' with a losin' kind

E Esus E

Well I knew what we were both doing, and I knew that you can't win

But when the light turned green, I reached across the seat

E Esus E

Popped the lock and she slid in

She said she liked Mexican music, she knew a place if I had the time

Well we had a few drinks and we danced a while

E Esus E

I pulled her close, she didn't mind

A E Esus E

And what I knew kinda slipped my mind

B E Esus E

And I couldn't resist her messin' with a losin' kind

Well we drove around in my Buick, getting drunk and having fun

B E Esus E

Well we ended up at this Best Western, out on Highway 101

It was around 3 a.m. we went out to this empty little road side bar

It was there the cash register was open
