lyrics

We’re goin’ south of the border / That’s where we’ll make our home

Ride all night ’til we see that Mexican sky

Acapulco in the winter time / Sure is easy on the eyes

And you can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine

Nine to five and IRA / I got tons of debt and my bills are late

Gotta get myself a life that’s worry free

Gonna find me a cute little Mexican bride and raise 10 kids by the ocean side

Drink all day with the sand beneath my feet

We’re goin’ south of the border / That’s where we’ll make our home

Ride all night ’til we see that Mexican sky

Acapulco in the winter time / Sure is easy on the eyes

And you can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine

Well it’s the same ‘ole thing / Day after day

Grindin’ your life away yeah yeah

Well I’ve been there myself / So brother let me help ya

Open up your eyes and I’ll show you the way

Ya spend all your time tryin’ to scrimp and save / Waitin’ around for that rainy day

But while your standin’ still the world’s gonna pass you by

Ya gotta throw your hands up in the air and say “What the hell, man I don’t care!”

And try to live just once before you die

We’re goin’ south of the border / That’s where we’ll make our home

Ride all night ’til we see that Mexican sky

Acapulco in the winter time / Sure is easy on the eyes

And you can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine

We’re goin’ south of the border / That’s where we’ll make our home

Ride all night ’til we see that Mexican sky

Acapulco in the winter time / Sure is easy on the eyes

And you can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine

You can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine

You can tell my folks back that home I’m doin’ fine
