James Taylor
Mexico
[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
