Lyrics

Way down here You need a reason to move Feel a fool Running your stateside games Lose your load Leave your mind behind, Baby James Oh, Mexico It sounds so simple I just got to go The sun's so hot I forgot to go home I guess I'll have to go now "Americano" got the sleepy eye But his body's still shaking Just like a live wire Sleepy señorita Got the eyes on fire Oh, Mexico It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low The moon's so bright like to light up the night Make everything all right Baby's hungry And the money's all gone The folk back home Don't want to talk on the phone She gets a long letter Sends back a postcard; times are hard Oh, down in Mexico I never really been so I don't really know Oh, down in Mexico I guess I'll have to say Oh, down in Mexico I never really been but I'd sure like to go Oh, down in Mexico I guess I'll have to go now Yeah they told me about Mexico The honky tonk town in Mexico Oh, Mexico, down in Mexico Sleep easy in your breather But then I'd like to see that again Oh down in Mexico Mexico, oh Mexico, down in Mexico Oh Mexico Hombre, let's go! I looked, um... Let's play Walking Man A couple of people asked for it, so...
