Sweet Sangria lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you know every desperado and sharpshooter in the West

You say that I can't see behind the mask

Of those who call themselves the good guys in this who take and take

"So are you with me or not?" you say, "This time decide"

[Chorus]

Balmy days, sweet Sangria

She's been gone, have you seen her?

Señorita shyly turning away

Leaving me our fading flame

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, you think about that

What you believe in

It matters now to you and me

What you believe in, I'm taking in

I said I'm taking in what you believe in

It matters now to you and me

[Verse 2]

Before sundown, the Mexicans leave San Antone

The car will then drop him at the border, the breaking point

I know your people have suffered time and time again

But what about, I ask you now, the innocents on both sides?

[Chorus]

Balmy days, sweet Sangria

She's been gone, have you seen her?

Señorita shyly turning away

Leaving me our fading flame

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, you think about that

What you believe in

It matters now to you and me

What you believe in, 'cause I'm taking in

I said I'm taking in what you believe in

It matters now to you and me

[Outro]

So give me, give me, give me a no window, I ask you

Give me, give me, give me a bloodless road

Tell me, tell me, tell me

Why does, does someone have to, have to, have to lose?
