Lyrics

VERSE 1

WELL I WALKED INTO THE BAR ROOM WITH MY BRIEF CASE
AND I WALKED STRAIGHT UP AND ORDERED MYSELF A BEER
WHEN I NOTICED TWO SECRET AGENTS WALKING OVER
THEY WEREN'T OURS SO I EXITED OUT THE REAR.

VERSE 2

WELL I RAN INTO THE CHURCH AT SANTIAGO
TOLD FATHER FERNANDEZ CALL THE C.I.A.
HE SAID "SORRY AMIGO BUT THE LINES WERE TORN DOWN IN A RAIN STORM
SO I LOADED MY GUN, JUST SAT AND WAIT.

AND HERE I AM:

CHORUS:

HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY, AY, AY, AY,
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO.WHOA, OH, OH, OH, OH
HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO.

VERSE 3

WELL THE COMMUNIST WERE KNOCKING AT MY FRONT DOOR
TWO CUBAN SPIES WERE SNEAKING AROUND THE BACK
SO I SENT AN S.O.S. TO MY BUDDIES IN BROOKLYN
SEND HELP BOYS CAUSE I THINK I'M STARTING TO CRACK.

AND HERE I AM:

CHORUS

HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY, AY, AY, AY,
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO, WHOA, OH, OH, OH,
HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO.

SOLO SECTION

VERSE 4

WELL THE DOOR BURST OPEN AND I DREW THE GUN FROM MY HOLSTER
AND I LOOKED STRAIGHT OUT AND COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW
LYING UNCONSCIOUS WERE TWO SOVIET SOLDIERS
AND TWO OF MY BUDDIES FROM BROOKLYN BY THE DOOR.

AND HERE I AM:

CHORUS

HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY, AY, AY, AY,
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO, WHOA, OH, OH,OH
HIDING AWAY, HIDING AWAY
HIDING AWAY IN MEXICO.
