On The Mezcal Road Lyrics

Along the mezcal road

That's where I want to go

The avenue of the sabino

The way so few know

Juarez, Aragon

Vasquez, Amador

Mendoza, Diaz and Reyes

All the good men

On the way of the maguey

I went to the top of the mountain

To see the señor de mezcal

I walked a narrow trail

To his palenque on the hill

Overlooking the valley

A lord in his domain

I drank his tobala

Salud! To the king of the maguey!

He said

Mezcal for what ails you

Mezcal for what's true

Mezcal with your friends

Mezcal when you're feeling blue

Mezcal every morning

Mezcal every night

Mezcal on the day I fly

To that palenque in the sky

On the mezcal road lives a princess

A goddesss high above

They call her Mayahuel

Oh, the stories she can tell

She is such an elusive mistress

She floats just out of reach

But if you drink deep

She'll caress your mind

Like a wave on the beach

I'm on the mezcal trail

This time I can't fail

To win the love of Mayahuel

And free my mind to sail

Got my jicara in my pocket

Got my shoes so I can walk it

Mezcal lights my heart and mind

Like a plug in a socket

Mezcal brings the dead to life

Mezcal brings life to death

Mezcal lubricates the mind

And illuminates the rest

Mezcal makes me feel so fine

It takes me to such a place

May the road go on forever

Salud! Take me away

Mezcal for what ails you

Mezcal for what's true

Mezcal with your friends

Mezcal when you're feeling blue

Mezcal every morning

Mezcal every night

Mezcal on the day I fly

To that palenque in the sky

When you're on the mezcal road

With your favorite compañeros

Who knows what you might find

Or where you might go

Oh-oh-oh
