ALL ROADS TO MEXICO-Remy de Laroque-

I think I badly need a vacation, so I wrote myself a sweet little song, such a beautiful place and people, Mexico!
SHE WORE A FLOWER PIN IN HER HAIR
HER NAIL PAINTED RED
SHE SCRATCHED MY HEAD
WHEN SHE CAME BY MY DESK
SHE WOULD LAUGH LIKE A KID
SHE'D SAY YOU TAKE ME OUT
THE LAST TIME I TOOK YOU TO LUNCH
I WANT SOME MARGUERITAS
LET'S GO TO MEXICO BAR AGAIN

CHORUS
I KNOW WHERE YOU WERE BORN
LOVE IS WHERE YOU'RE FROM

I RUB MY LIPS
ON THE EDGE OF THE GLASS
FELT SALT LIKE SEA
A LITTLE UMBRELLA IN IT DANCED
AND IT FELT LIKE THE BEACH
HER LIPS SHERRY RED
AND I DREAMT TO BE THE GLASS
THAT SHE HELD
HER DAD WAS MEXICAN
AND SHE WOULD MARRY WHO HE SAYS

FOLLOW YOUR HEART
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
THEY ALL LEAD YOU TO ME
FOLLOW LOVE
IT MIGHT BE HARD
BUT IT WILL SET YOU FREE

WHY DON'T WE GET AWAY
AND OUT OF THIS CRAZY BAR
WHY DON'T WE DRIVE DOWN SOUTH
TO WHERE NO ONE KNOWS WHO WE ARE
WE'LL SEE THE RED FROM THE SUN
PAINTING EVERYWHERE THAT WE LOOK
WE'LL DRIVE THE DESERT HIGHWAY AT DAWN
AND LIFE WILL SMILE AT YOU
