Oh, oh, oh, Carmen, I've had too much tequila
Between you and this Mexican rum, I'm gonna fall
El Passo lady, you're driving me crazy
In a language I don't understand, you said it all.

Dusty ol' Juarez, on the Old Rio Grande
It sure is hand, if you need a friend
I don't belong here, your dark eyes keep warning
I'll leave in the morning but for now, please let me in.
Crossing over the border, stepping over the line
Drunk on yesterday's wine and still feeling the flame
The guitars keep playing a song that I've never heard
Without saying a word, you keep calling out my name.
In a language I don't understand, you said it all
