[Verse 1]
Did you ever find out who wrote that pretty song?
Was your road to Mexico diamonds or stones?
Did you need that lucky piece I slipped in your hand?
Were you ready when the cold wind caught you at the Rio Grande?

[Chorus 1]
We were kinda crazy then
Needin' lovers more than friends
Songs on my guitar
You said felt like flowers against your scars
May you find a friend tonight
May he finally treat you right
Can you find that same moon
I've been staring at all night?

[Verse 2]
Always keep your word shining just like some bullet bright
While this old world wears its heart like a big bullseye
No don't you ever let them teach you the right from the wrong
Did you ever find out who wrote that pretty song?

[Chorus 2]
We were kinda crazy then
Needin' lovers more than friends
Songs on my guitar
They're for you, they always are
May you find a friend tonight
May he finally treat you right
May you find that same moon
Shining my love on you night
