Down In Mexico                                            © L. Dunn ‘99

 

 

                        Verse               Been a drag at work and no play at home

                                                I’m more and more tired, all the time

                                                Haven’t got an hour to call my own

                                                It’s all the same endless grind

                                                Feel like skippin’ town and not tellin’ a soul

                                                And live on a beach down in Mexico

 

                        Verse               It hasn’t turned out like I planned it

                                                But it better one day and soon

                                                After payin’ bills I’m empty handed

                                                And still … the rent is overdue

                                                Gotta dodge the land-lord pack-up and go

                                                And live on a beach down in Mexico

 

                        Bridge             I hear in Mexico … Acapulco really swings

                                                With a little cash I’m told

                                                Down there you can live like a king

 

                                                Solo

 

                        Verse               It’s a crazy business, this city livin’

                                                A mad wound-up affair

                                                People in a heat pushin’ and shovin’

                                                To God only knows where

                                                Gonna bag this town, not tell a soul

                                                And live on a beach down in Mexico

 

                                                Solo

 

                        Bridge             In Mexico I hear … is the good life I’m told

                                                Your worries disappear

                                                No problems in old Mexico

 

                        Verse               Been a drag at work and no play at home

                                                I’m more and more tired, all the time

                                                Haven’t got an hour to call my own

                                                It’s all the same endless grind

                                                Feel like skippin’ town and not tellin’ a soul

                                                And live on a beach down in Mexico
