Well, 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 to Mexico I discovered how to take it slow I've been in Mexico Now 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 Mexico 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 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 in Mexico, oh Mexico And to that heartache I say adios I've been in Mexico 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 same So 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
