I just got tired of that same old job, Tired of fightin' that freeway mob. I bet you never thought I'd really go, I'd never get as far as Mexico. But I've even learned to speak the language some, Down on the beach drinkin' coke and rum. You wouldn't know me with this golden glow, Soakin' sun in Mexico. I'm eatin right and I'm livin good, Doin' everything I said I would. I should have left a long time ago, Who needs you? I got Mexico. Through it all nothing's really changed, No matter what honey that's a shame. I still love you that's the way it goes, He's got you, I've got Mexico. But I'm eatin right and I'm livin good, Doin' everything I said I would. I should have left a long time ago, Who needs you? I got Mexico. I'm eatin right and I'm livin good, Doin' everything I said I would. I should have left a long time ago, Who needs you? I got Mexico. I'm eatin right and I'm livin good, Doin' everything I said I would. I should have left a long time ago, Who needs you? I got Mexico.
