Lyrics: Cabo San Lucas

Girl the last time you saw me I wasn’t this cool
And i’m hangin’ out in mexico down by the pool
In cabo, cabo san lucas
If I send you a ticket would you fly in?
I’d sure like to see you we could hook up again
In cabo, cabo san lucas

[Chorus]
I know it sounds crazy, but I bought a guitar
And i’m singing my songs downtown in a bar
You can come with a friend, you can come by yourself
You can sleep here with me, I ain’t got nobody else
In cabo, cabo san lucas

Well the baja gets hot this time of year
And except for the fisherman, they all disappear
In cabo, cabo san lucas
Pacifico is great, tequila is too
I got it all goin, but I ain’t got you
In cabo, cabo san lucas

[Repeat Chorus]

I’ll show you the stars and the moon on the sea of cortez
And the beach at san juan as the sun’s sinking down in the west
I’m leavin’ you this message, and if you give a damn
And you wanna call me you know where I am in cabo, cabosan lucas
Way down in mexico
Way down in cabo

Dolly Parton turned a simple handmade coat into one of the most powerful songs of her life because to her, it was never really about the fabric. “Coat of Many Colors” sprang directly from Dolly’s growing-up years in East Tennessee. Her mother, Avie Lee, pieced the jacket together by sewing colorful rags the family already owned. Cash was mighty tight, so there was no running down to the store for brand-new clothes. Instead, Avie Lee took what was on hand and stitched together something warm for her little girl to wear. While the needle flew, she shared the Bible story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, turning an ordinary piece of clothing into something special in Dolly’s eyes. Proudly wearing that coat to school, Dolly felt rich, but the other kids saw it differently. They laughed at the patches and teased her for having so little. Years down the road, Dolly penned those childhood memories into “Coat of Many Colors.” Released in 1971, the tune became a shining example of why her songwriting touched so many souls. She never tried to hide hard times or dress up her youth to look prettier than it was. She simply laid the sting of teasing side-by-side with the deep love that stitched the coat together, letting that honest truth speak for itself. The song eventually grew far beyond that original vinyl record. Its spirit inspired the 2015 television movie Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors, followed by Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love the very next year. Those films opened a window into Dolly’s mountain home, introducing folks to the hardworking parents and siblings who shaped her long before the bright lights found her. By then, Dolly had worn glittering stage gowns worth more than her family could ever have dreamed. Yet the garment folks remember best remains that humble little coat stitched by a mother’s loving hands when buying something new simply wasn’t in the cards. That is why the memory stayed alive. The scraps faded away, but the lesson underneath never did.
