Mexico

Well I ain't getting any younger
And the sun is setting fast
Faster than it did the day before
Things are getting funny, but it's hard for me to laugh
I won't stand to settle down anymore

Well there's a place, just south of Texas
Where they put salsa on my breakfast
Count on a couple of trumpets in the band
Well I got nothing left to lose
But these red, old white, and blues
I paid the cost
It's time to cross
The Rio Grande

I'm getting gone
Where the sun is shining bright as dawn
The sugar's so much sweeter
She'll make you a believer
Yeah, you know
Down in Mexico
In Mexico

Old man Mariachi
Playin' us his favorite song
I don't speak a lick of nothing
But I'll try and sing along
But a dollar gets me further
Than my momma's Oldsmobile
I got one hand on my lover
And the other on the wheel

I'm getting gone
Where the sun is shining bright as dawn
The sugar's so much sweeter
She'll make you a believer
You know
Down in Mexico
In Mexico

Well I've always been a man
Of the star-spangled brand
But I'm doing what I want
And I don't give a damn

I'm getting gone
Where the sun is shining bright as dawn
The sugar's so much sweeter
She'll make you a believer
You know
Down in Mexico
(down in Mexico)
Down in Mexico
In Mexico
In Mexico
