[Verse 1]
Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
It's time to leave it alone
So I don't think we're going to beat this postcard home

[Chorus]
We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer as the days go by

[Verse 2]
We're dropping our worries and pickin' up Español
Down here the sunsets are red, the tequila is gold
Life is sublime here on Mexican time
They've got something we need to learn
If we don't show for a while, don't be concerned

[Chorus]
We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer as the days go by
[Chorus]
We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer as the days go by

[Outro]
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer as the days go by
