Dwight Yoakam - Carmelita lyrics

Dwight Yoakam & Flaco Jimenez Have you had the static on my radio The tubes they glow in the dark And I'm there with you in Ensenada And I'm here in Echo Park. Carmelita, hold me tighter Yeah, I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on h**n On the outskirts of town. Well I pawned my smith corona And I went down to meet my man He hangs out down on Alvarado Street At the Pioneer Chicken Stand. Carmelita, hold me tighter Yeah, I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on h**n On the outskirts of town. --- Instrumental --- Carmelita, hold me tighter Yeah, I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on h**n On the outskirts of town. Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire With my pearl handled deck 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 sinking down And I'm all strung out on h**n On the outskirts of town. Carmelita, hold me tighter Yeah, I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on h**n On the outskirts of town. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Oh Yeah...
