“Mexican Wine” is the opening track to Fountains of Wayne’s best-known and best-reviewed album, Welcome Interstate Managers. Each song on the album takes the perspective of a different character, from a recently fired pilot to a boy with a crush on his girlfriend’s mom to some impatient diner custom...
[Verse 1]
He was killed by a cellular phone explosion
They scattered his ashes across the ocean
The water was used to make baby lotion
The wheels of promotion were set into motion
[Chorus]
But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
[Verse 2]
She lived alone in a small apartment
Across the street from the health department
She left her pills in the glove compartment
That was the afternoon her heart went
[Chorus]
But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
[Verse 3]
I used to fly for United Airlines
Then I got fired for reading High Times
My license expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired and I think that's fine
[Chorus]
But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
