Intro
All alone in a Mexican joint
In Mesa, Arizona
With a mariachi band
On the jukebox
And an empty Corona
And the sun gone down
In the pale thin pink
Theres no one to talk to
All I can think
Is your eyes are full of train smoke
And your mouth tastes like rain
And I know when I know nothing
I will always know your name
Youre my one and only one
Youre my only one
Out here working
In the neon lights
Where the temperature is falling
Its hotel coffee
Red-eye flights and Honey
Im your midnight ringer calling
And the snow comes down
From this desert sky
And I tell everybody something
But its usually good-bye
But not you youre my one
Youre my only one
Only one I want to talk to
Only one I know to call
Only one whos going to catch me
When my pride leads to a fall
Youre the sky all full of starlings
And an ax blade shining in the sun
Youre the angel touched a coal
Against my lips
Youre my only one
Reel to reel
The country rolls
And the towns slide by
Like ghost repeaters
Of faded billboards & big-box stores
Like a movie of an empty theater
You look around and wonder
When the seams are going to fail
And how dear the cost of living
Where everythings for sale
Except you youre my one
Youre my only one
And Im all alone
In a Mexican joint
In Mesa, Arizona
