Verse
way down here
you need a reason to move
feel a fool
runnin' your state side game
lose your load
leave your mind behind, baby james
Chorus
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
Verse
americano's got the sleepy eyes
but his body's still shaken like a live wire
seniorita with her eyes on fire, don't you know
Chorus
oh mexico
it sounds so sweet
with the sun sinkin' low
the moons so bright
like to light up the light
make everything all right
Verse
babys 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 post card
times are hard
Chorus
oh down in mexico
i never really been
so i don't really know
oooohhhhhh mexico
i guess i'll have to go now
oooohhhhhh mexico
i've never really been
but i'd sure like to go
woooohhhhhh mexico
i guess i'll have to go now
