John Waite - Run To Mexico lyrics

You could get what you want in the south, you could let down your hair

I said do you, don't you, will you, won't you

Baby won't you please let me know

I ain't talkin' 'bout Chicago, I'm talkin' about Mexico

Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico - could you

Come on baby, 'cos I got to go, the law is after me

I killed a man in a bar last night, there was no other way it could be

While the air in this joint could be cut with a knife

As the jukebox got rocked into lections

Bring a compass and some money for gas, 'cos I ain't gonna stop for directions

Not to Mexico

Makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico - could you

(Solo)

Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I gotta get away

And everytime the phone rings, it scares me to death

Saw my face in the paper today

I don't wanna hear the stories 'bout your mama and papa

No I don't wanna hear you cry

For me there's no second chance right now, it's the end for me, I can't lie

Makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico, makin' a run to Mexico

My life goes on in Mexico

Mexico, [ in Mexico ] (repeats out)
