Mexico, Texas

Intro

Sunrise on the border, dust on my boots, (vamos)

Two flags on the wire, two hearts on the move, yeah

Verse

I learned to dance with spurs and a sombrero in the same town

Leather and lace, and a little bell that keeps ringing 'round

Bluebonnets nod and cacti lean to meet the midnight breeze

Guitars pick the same four chords, but the rains speak different keys

Mama's stew and abuela's mole singing down the same street

Tacos on the corner, BBQ smoke where the two worlds meet

We argue over football, then trade stories by the fire

One says tequila, one pours whiskey — same thirst, same desire

Pre-chorus

We raise our hands, we raise our voices (sí, yes)

Same moon, different songs, same choices (oh-oh)

Two borders, one sky, feel that spark (feel that spark)

Chorus

Mexico, Texas — it's a dance, it's a dare (it's a dare)

Mexico, Texas — sun on skin, wind in our hair (ay-ay)

Mexico, Texas — we’re loud, we’re tender, we’re proud (we're proud)

Mexico, Texas — clap your hands, shout it out, shout it out (shout it out)

Verse

Kids on the porch play marbles and a rusty baseball glove

Abuela hums a ballad while the neighbor sings a love

Old men on a bench trading maps and old regrets

They laugh about the days when the whole town felt like two nets

Midnight markets mix with neon signs on main

Polkas meet boleros under the cooling rain

We push and pull like tides but we always come back home

Cross the line, share a smoke, watch the same stars roam

Pre-chorus

We paint our fences with the stories (cuéntame)

We break bread at the table, everybody's invited (everybody)

Same roads, different names, same heart (same heart)

Chorus

Mexico, Texas — it's a dance, it's a dare (it's a dare)

Mexico, Texas — sun on skin, wind in our hair (ay-ay)

Mexico, Texas — we’re loud, we’re tender, we’re proud (we're proud)

Mexico, Texas — clap your hands, shout it out, shout it out (shout it out)

Bridge

Maybe it's rivalry, maybe it's rhythm, maybe it's home

Maybe it's the way we say a prayer in a language you don't own

Maybe it's the market music that melts the hard lines away

Maybe it's the morning laughter that colors up the day

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ay-ya, ay-ya

Chorus

Mexico, Texas — it's a dance, it's a dare (it's a dare)

Mexico, Texas — sun on skin, wind in our hair (ay-ay)

Mexico, Texas — we’re loud, we’re tender, we’re proud (we're proud)

Mexico, Texas — clap your hands, shout it out, shout it out (shout it out)

Mexico, Texas — Mexico, Texas (Mexico), Texas (Texas), oh-oh

Outro

Under one sky, two fires, same morning glow (vamos)

Mexico, Texas — come on, come on, let it show (let it show)
