REMEMBER THE ALAMO
Written by Barry P. Foley Copyright © 18 SEPTEMBER 2001
I was passing thru south Texas playing one night stands, wound up in ole San Antone Called up an old buddy to set in with me, its only 60 miles from his home We played that night to a sold out crowd, left them yellin’ for more Then walked back over to my hotel, right across from the Alamo
At the hotel bar were two young ladies, already two sheets to the wind Big city gals who just flew into town for some kinda convention Well, we closed the bar and got a bottle to go, headed up to my room To continue the party with our new found friends, and pick a few more tunes
And we sang Blame It On Mexico, Tequila Sheila and Buffet’s Margaritaville Our party ladies friends passed out on the floor, I guess they had their fill When the tequila ran out we hit that mini bar, as the sun was starting to show Then we toasted the sun with baby bottles rum and yelled Remember the Alamo
Well the front desk called about a minute past 12 to see if I was checking out Our lady friends panicked when they woke up, saying they’d be fired no doubt One got dressed and she ran out fast, but mine stayed behind Saying screw that old job, I never liked it anyway and I’m having a hell of a time
My buddy said goodbye and headed home, with a story to suit his wife Me and my lady headed to Mexico, for the party of our lives We crossed the border at Nuevo Laredo, and bought a bottle of cheap Mezcal We found a hotel room with the bar downstairs serving cold Corona on tap
And I sang Blame It On Mexico, Pancho and Lefty, and whatever came to my head She wanted to make up for last night, man, she was wild and crazy in bed We made love for a hour, then she took a shower, then told me she had to go So we toasted for fun and ate that Mezcal worm and yelled Remember the Alamo
Well I quit the road and settled down, put that crazy life behind Opened me up a little music store and got married for the second time Just last year a postcard came from a New York Broadway show Just a lipstick print and these three words . Remember the Alamo
