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
I guess I'll have to go now
"Americano" got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking
Just like a live wire
Sleepy señorita
Got 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 folk 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, down in Mexico
I guess I'll have to say
Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
Oh, down in Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now
Yeah they told me about Mexico
The honky tonk town in Mexico
Oh, Mexico, down in Mexico
Sleep easy in your breather
But then I'd like to see that again
Oh down in Mexico
Mexico, oh Mexico, down in Mexico
Oh Mexico
Hombre, let's go!
I looked, um... Let's play Walking Man
A couple of people asked for it, so...
