Lyrics below. 👇

At the Greyhound terminal,
my phone’s dead as a rock,
Ain't no Uber on these dusty country blocks,
Didn't bring enough quarters, only got the pesos
Stranded here 'cause I went to see the donkey show
--
I kicked that rusty payphone, praying for a some kinda tone, but it ate all my coins, now I'm sittin' all alone. Had a car pass by but it didn't even slow. All I heard was somethin' 'bout a "pinche gringo..." "Tito..." ...or something like that, I don't speak Japanese.
--
Pesos and payphones, I’m stranded and alone, cursin' with my luck, wishin’ I was home. Ya know I came down south to see a donkey show.
--
I see a dusty diner on the roadside up ahead. The waitress stares, looking older than the dead. Said, "Hey, miss, can you help please? I need to get me one of these," drawin' pictures of a cell phone on a paper placemat. She said, "No, Papi, but you need to get with me ‘cause I haven't had a man in cincuenta años. Hit that.
--
So I'm crying now, layin' in her bed.
Her cigarette smoke swirls over my head
--
At the Cryptkeeper's castle, my phone’s dead as a rock, ain't no Uber on these dusty country blocks. Didn't bring enough quarters, only got the pesos, but now I'm naked laying with the Cryptkeeper... and I'm never gonna get to unseent her.
