about

A love of Mexico.

lyrics

I met a girl once when south of the border
She had no interest in me
I tried my charm and American dollars
It wouldn't work I could see

She had the look of a hot summer evening
The breeze gave life to her hair
Her eyes would shine like the stars in the heavens
Her face betrayed not a care

I stayed a while there just south of the border
That's where my heart longed to be
I'd win her love if it takes me forever
She'd be my heart's guarantee

I took her to my American city
She fell in love, I could see
With Yankee values and common convenience
She soon looked different

That's when I headed back south of the border
Down where the sun melts the sky
Down where the time runs a little bit slower
And where the heat never dies

So if you ever are south of the border
Remember these words I say
You'll fall in love with the Mexican beauty
One way or not, you're bound to stay
