So I didn't make it to their show tonight here in Pittsburgh, but I still listened to a little Bear Cub earlier today while cruising around with my boys. Jesse Hall followed a girl from his hometown (guess where that was?) to Texas, got his heart broken, and out of that experience came a bunch of good songs. This one may not have a lot to do with the girl, but it's a fun melody and a cautionary tale of the evils of tequila (at least in excess!) Actually saw this song reviewed as being a little reminiscent of a Bright Eyes style...
"Mexico" ~ Bear Cub (MySpace)
"...until a man I've never met claims I'm in his seat
and he'll let me keep my life if I buy him a drink
but I don't even blink, I start swingin' fast and clean...
...but then I woke
in a hospital
with a broken nose
in good ol' Mexico
The doctor said,
'You're lucky you're not dead...'..."
