A D Last night it got so hot, I swear A D Couldn't hardly breathe A E And heat lightning burnt the sky A E7 Like alcohol A D I sat on the porch without my shoes A D And I watched the clouds roll by A As the headlights raced E A To the corner of the kitchen wall D A Mama dear, your boy is here D A Far across the sea D A Looking for that sacred core E7 E That burns inside of me A And I feel a storm D All wet and warm A D Not ten miles away A E A Approaching my Mexican home A D Oh my God, I cried, it's so hot inside A D You could die in your living room A Take a fan from the window E A E7 Prop the door back with a broom A D And the cuckoo clock has died of shock A D And the windows feel no pane A The air's as still E A As the throttle of a funeral train D A Mama dear, your boy is here D A Far across the sea D A Looking for that sacred core E7 E That burns inside of me A And I feel the storm D And it's wet and warm A D Not ten miles away A E A Approaching my Mexican home

A D And my father died on the porch outside A D Was an August afternoon A I drank Bourbon and cried E A E7 With a friend by the light and the moon A D So it's hurry, hurry, step right up A D It's a matter of life or death A Oh, the sun is going down E A And the moon is just holding its breath D A Mama dear, your boy is here D A Far across the sea D A Looking for that sacred core E7 E That burns inside of me A When I feel a storm D And it's wet and warm A D Not ten miles away A E A E7 Approaching my Mexican home A E A E7 Approaching my Mexican home A E A Approaching my Mexican home
