Mexican Minutes
(Kent M. Robbins/Jim Messina)
CRDS By, Mike Ball

G                             C
Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
G                                        C
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
F                         G
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
C                     F
It's time to leave it alone
C                            F                  G
So I don't think we're gonna beat this postcard home

F                             G
We're down to the worm in the bottle
C                           F
The chips and the salsa are gone
C               F          C  G   F
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
F                           G
We're two days south of the border
C                        F
Feeling too good to care why
      G                   F
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
       G         C
As the days goes by

G                                        C
We're dropping our worries And pickin up Espa?ol
G                                 C
Down here the sunsets are red The tequila is gold
F                       G
Life is sublime here on Mexican time
C                                F
They've got something we need to learn
C                      F
If we don't show for a while
      G
Don't be concerned

F                             G
We're down to the worm in the bottle
C                           F
The chips and the salsa are gone
C               F          C  G   F
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
F                           G
We're two days south of the border
C                        F
Feeling too good to care why
      G                   F
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
       G         C
