From the recording Long Way 'Round
Lyrics
~ MEXICO ~
Well i quit my job & i gave all my useless shit away
i packed up my bus i’am gonna try my luck
i grabbed my surf board gonna try & catch some waves
while getting searched at the border i gave the policia
some playboys & some smokes
i said gracious amigos vaya con dios
& i grabbed me some peso & i headed into Mexico
Well i call my friends & my family on the phone
i don’t know when i’m coming home
yeah i miss you all but right now i’m living on my own
Hey hey Mexico i love running down your coast
riding waves & feeling free no place i’d rather be x2
Too baked in Chula Vista also Tijuana
a broken front window in Santa Rosalia
i drank too much tequila at the roadside cantina
i lost my wallet dancing in a rub a dub style
i met a señorita & i kissed a javelina
i think i fell in love when she gave me a blow-cita
i ate a fish taco from a stand on the street
& i’ve been really sick throwing up a week
& i’ve been hanging low with my head outside the door
a quart of pepto bismol & now i’m on the mend
& there’s a big swell & i’m surfing really well
& tonight i’m drinking lots of beer as you can probably tell &
i do not think it’s funny that i’m running out of money
but things are all chill & the skies are all sunny
but i’m not in the states i should call my parents
i need more money sent today
