Boy’s Town

[Verse 1]
Rode stolen horses down to Mexico one August afternoon
I've been working at a guest ranch since the dog days of June
Spent the season in a stable taking riders in and out
Longing for the woman worth writing home about

[Chorus]
So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can
It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn
All men have their demons and I've got mine
But that's not why I rode across the Rio Grande this time
Saddle up, stirrups down
I'm going to Boy's Town

[Verse 2]
I first met Alejandra on a street outside Selena's
Blindsided by her beauty and her broken English
I think of her too often, in the flesh, above the covers
It kills me to imagine her undressing for another

[Chorus]
So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can
It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn
All men have their demons and I've got mine
But that's not why I rode across the Rio Grande this time
Saddle up, stirrups down
I'm going to Boy's Town

[Verse 3]
I rode down with Gordo, Dallas, Jake, and Jack
They're barkin' at a crescent moon, drinkin' whiskey from a flask
On a street south of Laredo, countin' dollars and their dimes
They ask, "Why are you so quiet?" I've got other things in mind

[Chorus]
So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can
It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn
All men have their reasons and I've got mine
But I ain't comin' back without her by my side this time
Saddle up, stirrups down
I'm going to Boy's Town

[Outro]
I'm going down to Boy's Town
Going to Boy's Town
