South To Mexico (Smuggling My Heart)

Verse 1:
Johnny & Patricia they're good friends of mine
They called me up said, "boy, it must be time"
"We're going to take you out - see you on your feet again"
They don't know I've got a different plan

That's the problem with this little town
Everybody knows when you are up or down
Need a change of venue, a change of scenery
A language barrier might be just the thing


(Chorus)
I'm smuggling my heart South to Mexico
A little border town where I can just lay low
Cuz' I hear they treat heartache with tequila
And Loneliness by dancing with those pretty senoritas
A dark cantina with no one I know
Soft desert wind to warm my soul
I'm.. Smuggling my heart South to Mexico


Verse 2:
Mariachis play this sad love song
Don't understand a word but still I sing along
Between the locals and ex-patriats
I find a place to put my love to rest

Verse 3:
Que Bonita, Quieres Baillar
We're the last two sitting at this lonely bar
My broken Spanish made you laugh I see
Does your pretty smile mean there's a chance for me?
