Well the smoke cuts the lights in this honky tonk bar And I’m thinking where I’d rather be Maybe chasing senoritas here in Old Mexico Or standing on the edge of the sea Well if I had the money I tell you honey We’d be on that first plane to Spain But as long as we’re here oh the answer is clear We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain Mexico Rain Lord it’s hot down in Texas Mexico Rain yeah I call this my home And if I ain’t happy here then I ain’t happy nowhere Mexico rain when my mind starts to roam The lights of the city keep calling my name Yeah but I’ve been through that before It’s just a giant hotel on a long four lane street With the check out time on the door Well if I had the money I tell you honey We’d be on that New Delhi plane But as long as we’re here Lord the answer is clear We’ll waltz in the Mexico rain I’ve been drinking all day with a man at the bar He sure seems unhappy to me He said he’s going nowhere and going there fast He envies this life that I lead Well if I had the money I tell you honey I’d keep him from going insane There’s one thing for sure Lord there ain’t no cur Like a walk in the Mexico rain
