What's the name of this song

The first lines keep repeating, but I can’t think of the rest of it.

Written by Warren Zevon, covered by Linda Rondstant, early 80’s, I think.

“I hear mariachi static on my radio,
its tubes glow in the dark.
I’m stuck here in Encinada
and you’re in Echo Park”

Any clues ???

“Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I’m sinking down
and I’m all strung out on heroin
on the outskirts of town”

Great song. Been covered many times.

“Carmelita” by Warren Zevon on his first album.
Keith

Carmelita?

Triple Simulpost.

I knew the Straight Dope gang wouldn’t let me down

Now if I can just find the damn thing on Napster… Er
Uhmm I mean, I’m gonna run right out and BUY the albumn tonight.
