[Verse 1]

Way down here, you need a reason to move

Feelin' blue, runnin' your stateside game

Lose your load, leave your mind behind

Baby James

[Chorus 1]

Ooh 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

[Verse 2]

Americano's got the sleepy eyes

But his body's still shakin' like a live wire

Señorita with her eyes on fire

Don't you know?

[Chorus 2]

Oh, Mexico

Sounds so sweet with the sun sinkin' low

The moon's so bright, likes to light up the night

Make everything alright

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 3]

Ooh Mexico

I've never really been so I don't really know

Ooh Mexico

I guess I'll have to go now

[Chorus 3]

Ooh Mexico

I've never really been so I don't really know

Ooh Mexico

I guess I'll have to go now

[Outro]

Talkin' bout Mexico

Little Honky Tonk down in Mexico

South of Margaritaville I've been told

Oooohhhh Mexico
