Lyrics
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
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, soaking 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 (oh)
Who needs you I’ve got Mexico
Through it all nothing’s really changed
No matter what and 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 lost you a long time ago (oh)
He’s got you, I’ve got Mexico
I’m eatin’ right and I’m livin’ good
Doin’ everything I said I would
I should’ve left a long time ago (oh)
Who needs you, I’ve got Mexico
I’m eatin’ right and I’m livin’ good
Doin’ everything I said I would
I should’ve left a long time ago (oh)
Who needs, I’ve got Mexico
