It was 3 a.m. got a call from my friends in Tijuana
They said we're down in Mexico, man, you outta go hop a plane, if you wanna
We been soakin' up the sun here havin' fun, hangin' out on the beach and drinkin'
As I packed my bags, couldn't help but laugh as I got to thinkin'
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
Can you really be down in Mexico?
So here I am, surrounded by sand and clear water
Watchin' the sunshine makin' tan lines, don't know which is hotter
Mariachi bands don't play the blues and, that proves it's the only place
That you can have a broken heart and a smile on your face
Can you really be down, in Mexi- co?
With sweet drinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with tears you know
From Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
Can you really be down in Mexico?
Outro
Oh, from Monterrey to Tampico Bay, don't matter how far south you go
Can you really be down in Mexico?
Can you really be down in Mexico?
