Warren Zevon — The Rosarita Beach Cafe

[Verse 1] With Tennessee sour mash whiskey on my breath Rosalie, Suzy, and Lucy on my mind I drove my old car down Dusty streets of this old border town I never thought I'd get stuck here such a long long time [Chorus] I've got a million-dollar bill and they can't change it They won't let me leave until my tab is paid So I might as well settle down here And buy the house another round Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe [Verse 2] It was one of those hot dry dime-a-dozen Mexicana days When I fell through the door of the Rosarita Beach Cafe And I got myself a table with a view of the breakers and the bay And another cold Dos Equis on the way [Chorus] I've got a million-dollar bill and they can't change it They won't let me leave until my tab is paid So I might as well settle down, yes And buy the house another round Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe [Verse 3] Well I soon fell in with thugs and thieves And gamblers from the beach And the devil himself suggested an all-night game But the night winds came along Like some dark-eyed senorita's song And blew my straight flush out across the waves [Chorus] I've got a million-dollar bill and they can't change it They won't let me leave until my tab is paid So I might as well settle down, yes And buy the house another round Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe [Instrumental Outro]
