Mexico

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

Guess I'll have to go now

Americano got the sleepy eye

But his body's still shaking

Like a live wire

Sleepy señorita with 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 folks 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, Mexico

I guess I'll have to go

Oh, Mexico

I never really been, but I'd sure like to go

Oh, Mexico

I guess I'll have to go now

Talkin' down in Mexico

(Mexico, Mexico)

In a honky tonk down in Mexico

Oh, Mexico

Mexico, Mexico

Oh, Mexico

Mexico, Mexico

Oh, Mexico

Mexico, Mexico

Oh, Mexico
