Long Way to Mexico

There’s a warm breeze blowing from the South
So I need to get going
The palm trees and the beaches call my name
There’s a bar that I know well there
You can drink and breathe in the sea air
Lay in the sun and dance in the rain
The kind of place where everyone knows your name
I’ve got music on the stereo
Bluebonnets on the passing road
It’s a long way to Mexico, but I’m going there tonight
Line the Margaritas up
I’m doing 90 in my pick-up truck
It’s a long way to Mexico
I know about this out-of-the-way place
You can disappear without a trace
Leave the world behind if only for a while
You could just get rolling see the winding road
Unfolding feeling better with every passing mile
Even the getting there makes me smile
Bridge
It’s a place of Senoritas and where Mariachis sing
I know happiness abounds there
It’s a place where I’ll soon be
