Somewhere In Mexico

SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I’m drinking tequila with a girl named Maria

And dancing on the tip of my toes

Eating burritos with Jose and Tito

While the salt air is burning my nose

I’m living on sunshine, going straight out of my mind

It’s like being in a picture show

Trapped incognito with these pesky mosquito’s

Without a woman that I used know

I feel like a ragweed in lieu of a big sneeze

Harping of the good old days

Getting my tan on while the tourists have long gone

Parting in our separate ways

Drowning my sorrow in the words of tomorrow

Aching for some better shade

Sucking on sand crab like a delirious Arab

Under clouds of cherry marmalade

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

I’m watching the sunset and buddy I could bet

She’s watching with a different view

Taking in a full moon like a sweet Sunday monsoon

Making love to Mr. you know who

I couldn’t give a good damn so why am I so down man?

I can’t lie to tell the freaking truth

I haven’t any new plans for the sake of my weekend

There’s nothing here for me to do

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

In the early morning slow rain there is dew on my cold brain

And a daiquiri in my hand

With sounds of the ocean as I move in slow motion

My feet buried in the sand

Feeling so high strung from all of this ho-hum

I wish I was a different man

Senhoritas are singing in my head that is ringing

I wish they’d sing a different hymn

I woke up somewhere in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico

I got lost on some old whiskey Joe

It’s almost like I just don’t care

This old heart is bare

She took it somewhere I can’t go

Somewhere down in that old Mexico

It’s such a long way from Tobacco Road

It’s almost like a water slide

Without the good time

With people I don’t want to know

Somewhere down in Mexico
