Mexico

Had a little drink about an hour ago
They were playing my song on the radio
My heart was in my glass
It was soaking up like a sponge
I seen a little place down in Mexico
If I lose my love I'm sure gonna go
Nothing like a suntan makes a blue man feel high
Makes him high, she said
If the sun don't shine ill be there for you
There ain't nothing we can't do
And if the place to go is Mexico
Yeah
Five O'clocks gone ticking by,
I'm no longer feeling high
I gotta get myself a drink
To calm me down.
She was singing some old songs
But I've just known her much too long
To know she wasn't singing from the heart
Makes him high, she said
If the sun don't shine I'll be there for you
There ain't nothing we can't do
And if the place to go is Mexico
Hi-gh
If the sun don't shine I'll be there for you
There ain't nothing we can't do
And if the place to go is Mexico
There's a place I know were gonna go
ill take you there
the place to go is Mexico
I know were gonna go
ill take you there someday
yeah yeah
Five O'clocks gone ticking by,
I'm no longer feeling high
I gotta get myself a drink
To calm me down.
