El nombre Calexico, tomado de la población fronteriza norteamericana Calexico, California, define perfectamente a esta banda, ya que es la mezcla entre California y México.
Son un grupo norteamericano originario de Tucson, Arizona, amantes de los sonidos del mundo. Sus dos líderes, Joey Burns (voz y guitarra) y John Convertino (batería) comenzaron a tocar juntos en la banda angelina Giant Sand antes de fundar Calexico.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

[Intro] DF#mBmG
[Verse] DF#m Well, I dreamt you were playing BmG An old guitar from a five and dime DF#m There was a song trapped inside Bm With the sweetest tune G You said it was sad to sing
[Chorus] AEmGD Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go? AEmGD Where do you go when you have no one to see? AEmGD What do you see when you have nothing to feel? AEmGD What do you feel when you're all alone?
DF#mBmG
[Verse] DF#m It’s a song that circles round and around BmG Like a bird lost inside a cloud DF#m Cut off from the stars and they’re guiding light BmG Not sure which way is up or down anymore
[Chorus] AEmGD Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go? AEmGD Where do you go when you have no one to see? AEmGD What do you see when you have nothing to feel? AEmGD What do you feel when you're all alone?
[Bridge] DA Tired of waiting DA Clouds will be breaking DA Soon you'll escape and CAD Someday we'll find a place in the sky

[Intro] AmAm/CAmAm/G x4
[Verse] AmGAmGAm The days are growing short, patience wearing thin GAmGC Blackouts and broken trust, Leading to exodus GCGAm The future’s built on bullets and rocks GAmGAm They’ll search, they’ll save, They’ll find it one day GAmGDm There’s work to do, and mouths to feed
[Chorus] CAmGDm Why can’t you see, This plaintiff plea CAmGG The future’s starved, the families disappear Gadd9G/F#Am To the dark, cover of night
[Instrumental] AmAm/CAmAm/G x4
[Verse] AmGAmGAm No fear, no harm was meant, The smuggler joked GAmGC And down they went, The devil’s highway GCGAm Disguised as a cloud of dust and smoke GAmGAm Narcos and feds, Are all intertwined GAmGDm You can leave your valuables here, with me he smiled
[Chorus] CAmGDm A future’s promised to you CAmGDm Wrapped in their words without truth CAmGDm Echoes in a labyrinth of solitude CAmGG Security built a lie, a wall Gadd9G/F#Am Wrapped round and around fortitude
[Instrumental] AmAm/CAmAm/G x4
[Outro] AmAm/CAmAm/G Bullets and rocks AmAm/CAmAm/G A future’s promised to you ...

You let go the wheel and turned off the lights Fell out from the world and looking For something to ignite I saw you breathing in the questions That were clouding up your soul Trailing you back to the road
Changing your disguise but keeping the crown Like a box full of letters you drag From town to town
All the leaves that you scatter So that no one can guess your next move Now no one is searching for you And your refrain Making good promise again Well it might take us some time Better woodshed for a while Pack it all up there’s no use in waiting all day In hopes that you’ll come back to stay
All the leaves that you scatter So that no one can guess your next move Still no one is searching for you And your refrain Making good promise again Well it might take us some time Better woodshed for a while You’ll drive back again And I’ll still be your friend Pack it all up for there’s no use in waiting all day Hoping that something might change
Leave the box full of letters in the rain

Crying for three days Now your eyes are red and tired You can’t sleep for three days Now you’re waiting for tenderness to come You’re waiting for tenderness to come Now you’re waiting for tenderness to come
With a red bird on the branch And a cactus wren in the thorns Red bird on the branch Now your world’s coming undone You’re waiting for tenderness to come
Can’t trust in this anymore Still waiting on the fence So many times before What keeps you here anymore When things fall apart Now your world’s coming undone Now your world’s coming undone
Now you’re waiting for tenderness to come
