Lyrics
Living on Mexican Time
I HOPPED A PLANE AND TOOK OFF FOR MEXICO
I?D BEEN WORKIN? TO HARD
AND IT WAS TIME TO TAKE THINGS SLOW
THE CAPTAIN CAME ON SAID
WE JUST CROSSED THE BORDERLINE
SO I TOOK OFF MY WATCH NOW I?M LIVIN? ON MEXICAN TIME
CHORUS:
I?M LIVIN? ON MEXICAN TIME
WITH TEQUILLA, SALT, AND LIME
THERE?S NOTHING FOR ME TO DO AND NO BURDENS TO BARE
IF YOU GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO
AND YOU FORGET TO SHOW
WHEN YOU?RE LIVIN? ON MEXICAN TIME
NOBODY CARES
I?M SITTIN? ON THE BEACH WATCHING THE WAVES ROLL IN
DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SOME PEOPLE CALL THAT A SIN
MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT I?M RUNNING OUT OF LIME
LIFE IS TOUGH WHEN YOU?RE LIVIN? ON MEXICN TIME
CHORUS
SOLO
NOW I?M BACK TO WORK I?M RUNNIN? WITH THE RACE
EVERYONE AROUND ME HAS GAT A FROWN UPON THEIR FACE
I?M BUSTING A GUT JUST TO MAKE AN EXTRA DIME
WELL FORGET THIS I?M TURNING BACK TO MEXICAN TIME
CHORUS
