V1.
I winked at her and smiled...
She said "you're definitely a 10...
But I'm only talking pesos,
So please, let’s just be friends
So I broke out my guitar
and I softly strummed along
Baby if you don't look closely
I can win you with a song

Chorus
I got shot down in Ruidoso
Left behind up in Red River
Lonely Angel Fire nights
Her cold shoulder made me shiver
I had some better days in Taos
Made some strides in Santa Fe
I’ve still got the same ten pesos
And if you ask I’m on my way.

V2
Everywhere she went I followed
Across miles of white ski slopes
And I chased that pretty girl
All over New Mexico
She may have started as my opener
But we’ve moved on to duets
My comeback game is strong
I’ve got 10 pesos left to bet.

Chorus
I got shot down in Ruidoso
Left behind up in Red River
Lonely Angel Fire nights
Her cold shoulder made me shiver
I had some better days in Taos
Made some strides in Santa Fe
I’ve still got the same ten pesos
And if you ask I’m on my way

Bridge
I know I’ll never be living large
On my 10 peso cover charge


Chorus
I got shot down in Ruidoso
Left behind up in Red River
Lonely Angel Fire nights
Her cold shoulder made me shiver
I had some better days in Taos
Made some strides in Santa Fe
I’ve still got the same ten pesos
And if you ask I’m on my way

I’ve still got the same ten pesos
And if you ask I’m on my way


Ten Pesos (2025)

🥀 Inspired by: Patsy Cline

Patsy’s “Crazy” broke open something in country music — the honesty, the vulnerability, the pain you almost can’t say out loud. I wanted to write something that stepped into that same space… from the other side.

“Crazy Too” is what it sounds like when a man’s heart breaks and he owns his part in it. He doesn’t point fingers. He just lays it bare. It’s a song about regret — about love that didn’t go right, but still meant something deep.

This one’s real personal. I’ve been there. And I think a lot of folks have too. Sometimes heartbreak ain't about being the victim. Sometimes it’s about lookin’ in the mirror and sayin’, “I was crazy too.”
