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
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
