Nojales, Mexico

Down to Nogales, Mexico
That’s where my exes go
They started
a club in my name

They sing sad pretty songs
‘Bout how I done ‘em wrong
And they’re better
Without me they claim

I know that they’re right
And on nights like tonight
My head hangs
Heavy with shame

Now when I met dear Shirl
I promised the world
I was young and so
Full of myself

But then that promise came due
And I had not one clue
So Shirl packed up
And moved south

Down to Nogales, Mexico
Where all my exes go
They started
a club in my name

They sing sad pretty songs
‘Bout how I done ‘em wrong
And they’re better
without me they claim

I first saw sweet Renee
At the old cabaret
She was singing
And dancing so fair

She swept me off my feet
But in less than two weeks
She was breathing
That warm, Sonoran air

In Nogales Mexico
Where all my exes go
They started
a club in my name

They sing sad pretty songs
‘Bout how I done ‘em wrong
And they’re better
without me they claim

I know that they’re right

And I know I done wrong

Yet I still can’t say why

So I’m singing this song about

Nogales, Mexico
Where all my exes go
They started
a club in my name

They sing sad pretty songs
‘Bout how I done ‘em wrong
And they’re better
without me they claim

Yeah, they’re better
Without me they claim
