With Tennessee sour mash whiskey on my breath
And Rosalie, Susie and Lucy on my mind
I drove my old car down the dusty streets of this old border town
I never thought I'd get stock stuck here such a long, long time
Well, I've got a million dollar bill, and they can't change it
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down, yes
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe
It was a one of those hot, dry, dime-a-dozen, Mexicali days
When I fell through the doors of the Rosarita Beach Cafe
And I got myself a table with a view of the breakers in the bay
And another cold Dos Equis on the way
Well, I've got a million dollar bill, but they can't change it
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down, yes
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe
Well, I soon fell in with thugs and
Thieves and gamblers from the beach
And the devil himself suggested an all-night game
But the night winds came along like some dark-eyed señorita's song
And blew my straight flush out across the waves
And I've got a million dollar bill, but they can't change
And they won't let me leave until my tab is paid
So I might as well settle down, yes
And buy the house another round
Send my mail to the Rosarita Beach Cafe
