lyrics

Sick and tired of this mean old city
I'm going down to Mexico
It's getting deep dark and I'm feeling greedy
I'm going down to Mexico

There's money to be made
and girls are mean but pretty
only one place you can go

When the tables have turned and the crows have gathered
you gotta go down to Mexico
bridges have burned and dreams are shuttered
you take the long way to Mexico

Dirty money to be made
and girls are dressed uncovered
only one place you can go

Standing on the border in my leather jacket
cigarette burns and radio
when they won't let you talk you gotta growl and bark it
gotta take it down to Mexico

There's money to be made
and old dues to be paid
only one place you can go
