Karaoké Carmelita Flaco Jiménez & Dwight Yoakam

I hear mariachi static on my radio

The tubes they glow in the dark

And there with you in Ensenada

And I'm here in Echo Park

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

Yeah I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Well I pawned my

Smith and Wesson

Went down to meet my man

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street by the Pioneer Chicken stand

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

Yeah I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

Yeah I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Well I'm sittin' here playin' solitaire with my pearl handled Derr'

The county won't give me no more methadone and they cut off your welfare check

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

Yeah I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Carmelita

Hold me tighter

Yeah I think I'm sinkin' down

And I'm all strung out on heroin on the outskirts of town

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh woah ho ho ho oh oh
