Carmelita
Dwight Yoakam & Flaco Jimenez Lyrics
I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
[Chorus]
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
They cut off your welfare check
[Chorus]
Well, I pawned my Smith-Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand
[Chorus: x2]

This song is fantastic, flaco can perform magic with his accordion. He and Dwight are great together. I have actually been to the "pioneer" chicken stand on Alvarado and on Sunset blvd. Thanks for posting this....
