A Week In Juarez

(Phil Barnhart/Sam Hogin/Jim McBride)
 His name was Travis, hers was Vanessa
 Two Texas kids from west of Odessa
 Young love and lust defy rational thinkin'
 They were hotter than an oil field on fire.
 When you're that young everything's crucial
 You don't wait around for parental approval
 So he asked the question and she answered yes
 They jumped in his truck and tore out for Juarez.
 They had an informal wedding south of the border
 Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
 On a mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
 They had a wonderful week in Juarez.
 Now, when the bottom fell out of his chosen vocation
 They were too broke to move to a greener location
 Bills you can't pay put a strain on devotion
 They decided to just call it quits.
 Well, it might have been luck or divine intervention
 But on the way to the lawyer divorce wasn't mentioned
 He said, "I still love you.", she looked at him
 And said, "I know a great way to start over again."
 They had an informal wedding south of the border
 Got a room with a view for three bucks and a quarter
 On a mexican night you don't care what might lie ahead
 They had a wonderful week in Juarez.
