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 in Mexico
I discovered how to take it slow I've been in MexicoNow 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 MexicoAnd 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 sameWhen 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 alright"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 sameSo take my sunglasses with you, leave your watch behind
Could you please tell Maria "I'm doin' fine"
I've been in Mexico, oh Mexico
