Carmelita lyrics
Song information
Artist: Linda Ronstadt Album: Simple Dreams
Lyrics
Written by warren zevon &Copy; 1972 warner-tamerlane publishing corp & darkroom music (bmi)
I hear mariachi static on my radio And 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 I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on heroin On the outskirts of town
Well I pawned my smith and wesson And went to meet my man He hangs out down on alvarado street By the pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita, hold me tighter I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on heroin On the outskirts of town
Well I'm sittin' here playing 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 I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on heroin On the outskirts of town
Carmelita, hold me tighter I think I'm sinking down And I'm all strung out on heroin On the outskirts of town
