Cantina Tina
Cantina Tina never met one meaner
Though she sure looked pretty as the night grew long;
And so did I, in the mirror of the john.
Bottom of the bottle is where the grass is greener.
A Skid Row guy with an eye for Pasadena;
Spend my nights between seventh and third
With old Jack D ’til the world is blurred.

he sees a faded sign

Red Rose At Pancho's Cantina True Story

There is no telephone, so you can't hear it ringing
She is letting the tequila, get into her head
She once had a hour glass figure, that is about
