I've Been In Mexico

(album: Off To Join The World - 2005)

Well, I didn't even bother to set the alarm
If I'm a few hours late, whats the harm
I've been in Mexico, I've been to Mexico
I discovered how to take it slow
I've been in Mexico

Now the boss is stressed out, he's got his deadlines to meet
I'm leaning back in my chair with my two bare feet
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico
Still got the sun on my back and the sand in my toes
I've been in Mexico

And when I landed in the land of the Aztec sun
I was too uptight, too high strung
But the moment that salt air hit my tongue
I felt a change, nobody ever goes and comes back the same

When she left me for another I was down and out
But there's a little cactus cure I've learned about
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico
And to that heartache I say adios
I've been in Mexico

And when I landed in the land of the Aztec sun
I was too uptight, too high strung
But the moment that salt air hit my tongue
I felt a change, nobody ever goes and comes back the same

So take my sunglasses with you, leave your watch behind
Could you please tell Maria "I'm doing fine"
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico
