mariachi

i’ll be the right hand
you be the left hand
you and me we make
a mariachi band
standin on the corner
waitin for the light
when you’re around i always feel alright
from the painted desert over to paris, france
i’ve followed your pointed finger with my glance
and i’ve seen so much more than i would see
if it was just me just me
if it was just me just me
our first rehearsal was under a redwood tree
and you brought lyrics and you handed them to me
and you said here you are
the only one
who can sing this
and i felt kissed and i wondered
if it was just me
just me
if it was just me
just me
let’s get this party started
let’s squeeze the lime
the mariachi life is really more than fine
you know i’ll meet you
you know i’ll be flying blind
at the appointed corner at the appointed time
at the appointed corner at the appointed time
what if it was just me
just me?
