Lyrics
I’ve heard the stories
About Cowboys and Indians
They fought for their ranches
And the women and children
The day heats the desert
A fire warms the night
Old Mexico
Down in the valley
The mountains on the rise
They raised a family
On a ranch with wheat and rice
And they’d ride out to the coast
Laughing in the sun and the waves
Old Mexico
They lived in their houses
Where neighbors were hard to find
And they’d ride their horses
Around cactus so far and wide
And as they were leaving
Their memories stay with them
Old Mexico
