Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I didn't know you weren't supposed to drink the water
I never knew it was so hard to get through, south of that border
If I had any idea it took that many pesos to make a dollar
I'd have moved down there, yeah, I'd probably been a millionaire
[Verse 2]
Rosa at the BI-LO told me Cinco de Mayo is their Fourth of July
And you don't sneak up on a habanero pepper and just take a bite
Rose says the sunsets on some of them beaches that'll make you cry
I said is that right? 'Cause up until night
[Verse 3]
All I knew about Mexico was him with my baby on the back of that Harley
Passin' every car as fast as they could go
And all I know about purty white sand
Is she's probably on it now sharin' a little beach towel
With her left me for another man
Or workin' on a tan I bet
While I'm here tryin' to forget all I know about Mexico
[Verse 4]
And I've heard some pretty scary stuff about them jails down in Tijuana
And it ain't nothing like the US if you get busted
And I hear he's all hopped up on that marijuana
I can't help but worryin' about her bein' down there when he leaves her
And you know he's gonna leave her any day now
Yeah, the cops will come around
Wanna know what I've known
[Verse 5]
Well, all I know about Mexico was him with my baby on the back of that Harley
Passin' every car as fast as they could go
And all I know about pretty white sand
Is she's probably on it now sharin' a little beach towel
With her left me for another man
And she' workin' on her tan, I bet
While I'm here tryin' to forget all I know about Mexico
[Verse 6]
All I knew about Mexico was him with my baby on the back of that Harley
Passin' every car as fast as they could go
And all I know about pretty white sand
Is she's probably on it now sharin' a little beach towel
With her left me for another man
And she' workin' on her tan, I bet
While I'm here tryin' to forget all I know about Mexico
[Verse 7]
All I know, all I know, all I know, all I know about Mexico
