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

Oooh, 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


Americanos' got the sleepy eyes
But his body's still shakin' like a live wire
Senorita with her eyes on fire

Don't you know

Oooh, Mexico

It sounds so sweet
With the sun sinkin' low
The moon's so bright

Likes to light up the night
Make everything alright.


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
And sends back a postcard
Times are hard.


Ooohh, down in Mexico
I've never really been

So I don't really know
Oooooh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now.


Oooh, Mexico
I've never really been

But, I'd sure like to go
Whoa, oooh Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now.


Talkin' 'bout Mexico (Mexico)
Little honkeytonk out in Mexico (Mexico)

South of Margaritaville
I've been told
