Intro: 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? Instrumental: 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?
