Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker
 Let me tell you a little story about a trip I made to Mexico, with some friends
 Of mine that had a pocket full of Mauis and some bad intentions...
 Me and old Sue and this feller we knew went down to Mexico
 To have a little fun and soak up the sun
 And drink a little tequila don't you know
 One thing led to another, we got pretty drunk it's true
 We wound up in a sleazy old bar that gringos don't go to
 After that it gets hazy, but I think what a happened to me
 I wound up getting rolled in an alley and missing all of my ID
 Chorus:
 Two Jerry Jeff's are in this world,
 Both using one ID
 The other guy ain't got an idea,
 How hard being me can be
 Well if he thinks it's gonna be easy,
 Think that he oughta think twice
 With a high expectation and my reputation,
 Man he's leading a dangerous life
 Now I can see him at a bar downtown
 At a place where I've just been
 And if I've caused trouble,
 Well I know right and ready,
 That it's gonna be hard on him
 Only last night, I heard rumors, about a guy that looked like me
 Dancing on tables, singing Redneck Mother,
 People said that he said he was me
 Well you can check out his ID, you get a fake one easily
 I guess it gets you down to the cold hard facts
 That there probably really is two of me
 Chorus
 Spoken:
 Alright here's the thrilling conclusion of this wild whodunit...
 Looking back on my past, sometimes has been a pretty strange ride
 And I find it gets harder with time, to seperate the facts from the lies
 People mention places to me I never been before in this life
 Could it be me that they're talking about,
 Or maybe it's really some other guy.
 He's the wild one chasing women, getting those DWIs
 That would explain my wild reputation, if it's made by two different guys
 Chorus
