Don't know why I have this frown on my face
I guess I'm ready, to get away
Working 80 hours, making time and a half
Just to make ends meet, the people they laugh
They tell me, son, you ain't got no life
Why did you leave your little wife?
I tell them she left me, and that's a fact
And I'll never take her back, and I'll be singing
Put a dollar bill in my hand
Mexico is now my new best friend
Play me a song that I love to sing
And I'll drown it down, in a bottle of Beam
I'm singing my, my, whoa, whoa, whoa
I think I'll head, on down to Mexico
A lot of things, I miss about you
Like the way you smile, the things that you do
But down here, where, the senoritas go wild
It's hard to think or even miss your smile
All the people at home, they think I'm all alone
Look at the crazy man, his only friends are stoned
But down here, I have a thousand friends
And they got my back, so just watch me, man
Put a dollar bill in my hand
Mexico is now my new best friend
Play me a song that I love to sing
And I'll drown it down, in a bottle of Beam
I'm singing my, my, whoa, whoa, whoa
I think I'll head, on down to Mexico
Twenty pesos, it's all I got left
I'll have to head back in my old van
Go to work, and wait 'till next year
When I can come back, down here
Until next year, I'll be singing
Put a dollar bill in my hand
Mexico is now my new best friend
Play me a song that I love to sing
And I'll drown it down, in a bottle of Beam
I'm singing my, my, whoa, whoa, whoa
I think I'll head, on down to Mexico
I think I'll head, on down to Mexico
