Lyrics

G
Sittin' by the sea of Cortez
C G
Not carin' about what anybody says
C
Just soakin' up rays
G D
And feelin' my way around


Trouble never rearin' it's head
Except when that Tequila makes me feel half dead
Otherwise I'm just fine
Leavin' it all behind

D C G
I'm livin' here in Mexico (Mexico)
C G
The land and people move real slow
C D Am
I'm livin', livin here in Mexico
C (stop) D G
Livin' here in Mexico

Can't rightly remember now
Was it three or four years since I came to this town
Runnin' from God knows what and
Who knows who

Was I thinkin' I'd be better alone?
Me in my space
And her in her own
But I should've known that she'd never put up with that

Chorus
Solo

Sun is settin' over the bay
Margarita in hand
And the band starts to play
She takes my hand and flashes her wicked smile

D C G
We're livin' here in Mexico (Mexico)
C G
We gave it all up, to go with the flow
C D Am
We're livin', livin here in Mexico (hold)
C D G
We're livin' here in Mexico
