lyrics

Signed my papers on Friday
Saturday hit the highway
Made it to Texas by Sunday
Mexico on a Monday

Heard some Wilco in a Starbucks
I considered it good luck
It was something from "A.M."
Something from way back when

I've been taking it real hard
Taking it real hard
I've been taking it real hard
Taking it real hard
Mexico is where I had to go

The Yucatan is a jungle
Good place to get into trouble
When you've played all the wrong chords
Left your regrets at the table

And I've been feeling much better
In sunnier weather
And I don't feel much like cryin'
In Playa del Carmen

And I've been taking it easy
Taking it easy
I've been taking it easy
Taking it easy
Mexico is where I had to go

Quintana Roo and Cancun moons
Sargasso beaches and water blue
Just take the bus to the ADO
It only costs forty-five pesos
In Mexico
Mexico on a Monday
