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' 'bout in Mexico (Mexico)
In a honky tonk down in Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico
