James Taylor Mexico Lyrics

Mexico Lyrics

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
