I was hangin' 'round and broken down with a settled downtown girl
Her daddy was a diplomatic fighter of the world
And he was well-connected, he helped me connect the dots
He payed me off to leave and let's just say he payed a lot
I guess it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
Lay up in the shade of a cocunut tree
I'd love to go to Hell but there's somewhere I'd rather be
So it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
So I took her daddy's money but I stopped at Becky's first
Her mother danced on the Strip and I fell in love in her
We almost tied the knot when I was asked: Any objections?
When her mom's stripped boyfriend busted in with an AK-47
I guess it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
Lay up in the shade of a cocunut tree
I'd love to go to Hell but there's somewhere I'd rather be
So it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
I made a side of El Paso, made a business woman there
I knew that she was right but how I didn't care
When the cops kicked in the door, they found a suitcase of cocaine
She took off with the federate and I took all the blame
I guess it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
From this jail cell I can't see one cocunut tree
I'd love to go to Hell but now I can't ever leave
So it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
So it's M-E-X-I-C-O for me
