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 senorita with the eyes on fire
Oh, Mexico It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low 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
