I didn't know you weren't supposed to drink the water

I never knew it was so hard to get through south of that border

If I had any idea it took that many pesos to make a dollar

I'd have moved down there

Yeah, I'd probably been a millionare

Rosa at the bayou told me Sinco de Mayo is their fourth of July

And you don't sneak up on a jabanero pepper and just take a bite

Rosa says the sunsets on some of them beaches that'll make you cry

I said, is that right?

Cuz up until tonight



All I knew about Mexico

Was him with my baby on the back of that Harley

Passin' every car as fast as they could go

And all I know about pretty a white sand

Is she's probably on it now sharing a little beach towel

With her "left me for another" man

Or working on a tan I bet

While I'm here trying to forget

All I know about Mexico



And I've heard some pretty scary stuff about them jails down in Tijuana

And it ain't nothin' like the US if you get busted

And I hear he's all hauked up on that marijuana

I can't help but worrying about her being down there when he leaves her

And you know he's gonna leave her

Any day now, yeah, the cops will come around

Wanna know what I've known



All I know about Mexico

Oh she's working on her tan I bet

While I'm here trying to forget
