Driving in my Nova, got the window rolled down
Puke-green on the outside, the interior is brown
Driving in my Nova, I can only go so slow
Driving in my Nova all the way 'cross Mexico

Pulled into a cantina just to get myself a beer
El camarero asks me how'd I get that green thing here
Talking 'bout my Nova, he wanted to know
Why the hell'd I drive a Nova all the way to Mexico

Well, he told me 'bout the trouble turning English into cash
And how my pretty car was just a token from the past
Most things will go unnoticed in the auto trade, pero
No se venden las Nova en Jalisco

Well, he told me 'bout the trouble turning pesos into gas
And how the Burgos Basin would be taking care of that
Most things will go unnoticed in the countryside, you know
But they don't sell Novas in Jalisco

Driving in my Nova when I hear a funny sound
Pull over to el lado, and my Nova broke down
Cursing out my Nova 'cause it just won't go
I'm cursing out my Nova 'cause I'm stuck in Mexico
