Mexico Rain

Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky tonk bar

And I’m thinking where I’d rather be

Maybe chasing senoritas here in Old Mexico

Or standing on the edge of the sea

Well if I had the money I tell you honey

We’d be on that first plane to Spain

But as long as we’re here oh the answer is clear

We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain

Mexico Rain Lord it’s hot down in Texas

Mexico Rain yeah I call this my home

And if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere

Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam

The lights of the city keep calling my name

Yeah but I’ve been through that before

It’s just a giant hotel on a long four lane street

With the check out time on the door

Well if I had the money I tell you honey

We’d be on that New Delhi plane

But as long as we’re here Lord the answer is clear

We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain

I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar

He sure seems unhappy to me

He said he’s going nowhere and going there fast

He envies this life that I lead

Well if I had the money I tell you honey

I’d keep him from going insane

There’s one thing for sure Lord there ain’t no cur

Like a walk in the Mexico rain
