In a bar in Acuna called Mah Crosby’s

I found myself not feeling any pain

I told a Frisco girl I’d come for freedom

She said she’d only come to catch a train

We struck up some idle conversation

Traded all the troubles on our minds

One thing led to another in the evening

And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico

If You need a reason

Say it’s too much guitar music, tequila, salt, and lime

Blame it on Mexico

But she’s the reason

That I fell in love again for my last time

Daylight dawned and found me in DelRio

In a run down motel room as dark as hell

I felt all the pains of a morning after

And all alone as far as I could tell

Why she left, I have no way of knowing

Guess she cought her train, and that’s a crime

She took everything I ever wanted

And i fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico

If you need a reason

Say it’s too much guitar music, tequila, salt, and lime

Blame it on Mexico

But she’s the reason

That I fell in love again for my last time…

I didn’t loose the girl, but felt all the pain after our romp in Acuna this weekend.

The drive from Austin to Acuna isn’t bad at all though, so I’m sure we’ll be back. Pat Green played a fantastic show… it was very cool, though I’ll have to say the Corona Club was one hot, tight place to be during the concert. Maybe that’s why all those girls kept taking their tops off during the show…

A very cool thing happened at the end of the show. We caught the drumsticks when the drummer through them into the crowd… both of them.

At the end of the show we were all drunker than usual, and covered in beer (crazy drunk rednecks start throwing beer on each other when they get excited). The cool thing is, it was so damned hot that the beer felt good, believe it or not.

After the show, we walked to a liquor store, bought some cheap mexican coconut run, and walked back across the border to our car (man that’s a long bridge from Mexico to Texas). We got in our car, and drove back to our hotel in Del Rio, and went for a swim with a bunch of other drunk people in the hotel pool. It was a lot of fun, look for some great pictures from the night coming soon.

Sadly, Monday brought nothing but hard word at the office.
