I didn't even bother to set the alarm
If I'm a few hours late what's the harm
I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico
I've discovered how to take it slow
I've been in Mexico
The boss stressed out, so many deadlines to meet
I'm leanin back in my chair with my two bare feet
I've been in Mexico, I've been in Mexico
Still got the sun on my back and then sand in my toes
(chorus)
When I landed in the land of the Aztec sun
I was too uptight and too high stung
But the moment that salt air hit my tongue I felt a change
Nobody ever goes and comes back the same
When she left me for another I was down and out
But there's a little cactus cure I've learned about
I've been to Mexico, I've been to Mexico
(repeat chorus)
So take my sunglasses with you
Leave your watch behind
Would you please tell Maria I'm doin fine
