[Verse 1]
I no longer notice if you're wearing perfume
I quit smoking, girl, you never even knew
And the road is full of young and restless people
And they're full of the energy to move

[Chorus]
It's a habit for us to stay together
We sit and watch the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year, I left for California
This is my year for Mexico

[Verse 2]
We used to whisper love across the night time
Now we never whisper nor we call
Our love was left upon the shelf from winter
Where the sunlight never touches it at all

[Chorus]
It's a habit for us to stay together
We sit and watch the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year, I left for California
This is my year for Mexico

[Verse 3]
Your back is turned to me while you are reading
I close my eyes while I pretend to doze
From the road, I hear the sound of passing traffic
Some of them are bound for Mexico
[Chorus]
It's a habit for us to stay together
We sit and watch the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year, I left for California
This is my year for Mexico
