She bought gas grills and stoves 14 exit congo road That was four thousand miles from her natural home And i laughed when she asked if she really looked good I wish I had that one back 'cause I'd tell her yes like nobody else could
Gone broke in time with our money I gave it all to my Monterrey honey And learned about the great temptations I'm lost where no one can find me I think of her and my future's behind me So now I'm back to join the great parade
She asked me aren't you done yet And then broke my heart with her last cigarette There are some things a man tries so hard to forget Like that face that she made when I knew things had changed Now she's gone I've marched on to some secret song that can't drown out her name
Gone broke in time with our money I gave it all to my Monterrey honey And learned about the great temptations I'm gone where no one can find me I dream of her and my future's behind me So now I'm back to join the great parade I'm back to join the great parade I'm back to join the great parade I'm back to join the great parade I'm back to join the great parade...
