Mexican Home Lyrics

This song is so descriptive it's like being are on the porch with him. The heat, the headlights and the weather all add to the feeling. I think that his father dying on the porch is just a memory and not the reason for this particular visit. I think he's glad to be back with his mother even though it hot inside and he is having memories of his father. Not really a sad song.
