Mexico - James Taylor

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 Seorita 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
