No Rest for the Wicked

On the lam, I'm heading for south of the border.

Caught my wife cheating on me,
Left Georgia about half-past ten,
Door ajar - shot them in the bed,
Don’t think I’m going back again.

Would my wife have gotten shot,
Running makes a me think a lot,
If she’d voted for Newt Gingrich?
Georgia’s man never had a shot.

Think I’ll go down to old Mexico,
Drink Tequilas till  the sunrises,
One moment can change you,
Yes, this life’s full of surprises.

Know I’ll be living me a good life,
GA Rambo South of the border,
Spending  up my Yankee dollar,
See Pesos ain’t worth a quarter.

Wait there’s something wrong,
That’s sirens blaring a song?
Blue lights right up behind me,
Making me go where I belong.

Wait! Must be just the booze,
My wife’s waking me in bed,
Think I’ll take her on a cruise,
To sunny Acapulco instead!

This one's got an edge up on ol' Jimmy... but there's a bit of a Buffet feel to the lyric...especially with the "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" motif...

Anyways, Nicely done, Starman
