Down below El Paso lies Juárez 
Mexico is different, like the travel folder says
Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
An old adobe court house, where you leave your past behind

One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me 
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce

As I came home to this empty house last night
Looked at all the windows and I couldn't find one light
I found you on this road to Mexico
And now, my love, I'm pleading: "Please, oh please, don't go"

One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me 
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce

Finding love takes so long
Walking out must be wrong 
It's a sin for you to get
A Mexican divorce

One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me 
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce
A Mexican divorce
A Mexican divorce...
