Well he got up Sunday put on his jeans
Packed his bags and cleaned his teeth
Fetched the car had something to eat
Now he's going down to Mexico
Feeling bitter he got some gas
His old lady sure was a rat
He beat her up she wrecked the flat
Now he's going down to Mexico
Chorus
Going down to Mexico
Going down to Mexico
That's the only place where he can go
So he's going down to Mexico
It ain't no joy to run away
Things got much too bad to stay
And Mexico is far away
So he's going down to Mexico
