I woulda never sold my truck
To buy that one-way ticket out
If I thought I could get over her
Back there in our home town
Guess I believed those songs about tequila
And the healing power of pretty Senoritas...but...
There's NO MAGIC IN MEXICO
Like they sing about on the radio
Sad feelings and emotions don't drown in the ocean
And the sun doesn't bake bad memories away
Hangovers are sure cheaper
The salty air is sweeter
And the sunsets move the soul
But there's no magic, NO MAGIC IN MEXICO
Looking back I wish I told my boss
I'd be two weeks on vacation
Instead of quittin' with my finger
In broken-hearted frustration
There's a lotta distractions down here to ease the pain
Truth be told I've only got one complaint
REPEAT CHORUS
...Mexico doesn't care who it's foolin' / It's all one big emotional illusion
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, hangovers are sure cheaper / The salty air is sweeter
And the sunsets soothe the soul / But there's no magic, NO MAGIC IN MEXICO
