Intro: C Am F C
C Am F
All alone in a Mexican joint
C
In Mesa, Arizona
Am
With a mariachi band
F
On the jukebox
C
And an empty Corona
Am
And the sun gone down
F
In the pale thin pink
Dm
There’s no one to talk to
All I can think
C
Is your eyes are full of train smoke
Am
And your mouth tastes like rain
F
And I know when I know nothing
Dm
I will always know your name
C C/B
You’re my one and only one
F C
You’re my only one
Out here working
In the neon lights
Where the temperature is falling
It’s hotel coffee
Red-eye flights and Honey
I’m your midnight ringer calling
And the snow comes down
From this desert sky
And I tell everybody something
But it’s usually good-bye
But not you you’re my one
You’re my only one
C
Only one I want to talk to
Am
Only one I know to call
F
Only one who’s going to catch me
Dm
When my pride leads to a fall
Bb
You’re the sky all full of starlings
F C
And an ax blade shining in the sun
Bb
You’re the angel touched a coal
F
Against my lips
C
You’re my only one
Reel to reel
The country rolls
And the towns slide by
Like ghost repeaters
Of faded billboards & big-box stores
Like a movie of an empty theater
You look around and wonder
When the seams are going to fail
And how dear the cost of living
Where everything’s for sale
Except you you’re my one
You’re my only one
And I’m all alone
In a Mexican joint
In Mesa, Arizona
