a hundred miles from mexico
me and my amigo, the coral orange moon.
dark so black poets don't go
ol' fateful, willin' who I am on a fateful
winding stretch of road

a hundred miles from mexico
the moon, the music, and me

a hundred miles from mexico
backing down this highway, thumbing at the headlights
gravel shoulder, devil's backbone
before the headlights become the dawn
me and my amigo will be gone

a hundred miles from mexico
the moon, the music, and me

before the headlights become the dawn
me and my amigo will be gone
