8th February 2026 Long Gone Video RIP Flaco Jiménez (March 11, 1939 – July 31, 2025) and Raul Malo ((August 7, 1965 – December 8, 2025)

No, I can’t sleep a wink anymore
Ever since you first walked out the door
Then I just started drinking to forget
But I don’t think the worst has happened yet

All you ever do is bring me down (woo-hoo)
Making me a fool all over town
They all wonder why I wear a frown
That’s ‘cause, honey, all you do is bring me down
Bring me down, Flaco (woo)

It’s funny how my whole world fell apart
I think I saw it coming from the start
I tried to tell myself that you’d be true
But I expected way too much of you (yeah)

All you ever do is bring me down
Making me a fool all over town
And they all wonder why I wear a frown
That’s ‘cause, honey, all you do is bring me down (I’ll tell you man, whoa)

All you ever do is bring me down
Making me a fool all over town
And they all wonder why I wear a frown
That’s ‘cause, honey, all you do is bring me down
That’s ‘cause, honey, all you do is bring me down
Honey, all you ever do is bring me down
A two, three, four

Mavericks
Come on, Steve
Bring me down, Flaco
