No Magic In Mexico (D. Longuski/P. Bathen)

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 Dewey Longuski (BMI) Paul Bathen (BMI) ©2024
