MEXICO
Chris Holsten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tune on the beach down in Mexico
Sippin' on a drink I can't let go
Looking at the girls from the bar
I'm waving with my golden credit card

Ride with the ocean waves
Can feel the breeze just hit my soul
Every wish in one big place

Right in the heart of Mexico
Sun goes up, Sun goes down
Girls fly in, girls fly out
Sold my house but I still own
My one-way ticket to Mexico

One-way ticket to Mexico

Shakin' to a beat everywhere I go
And singing to a song that I should have known
Got myself a hat and a cheap cigar
I know I'm poor but i look like a star

Ride with the ocean waves
Can feel the breeze just hit my soul
Every wish in one big place
Right in the heart of Mexico
Sun goes up, Sun goes down
Girls fly in, girls fly out
Sold my house but I still own
My one-way ticket to Mexico

One-way ticket to Mexico

Nothing's gonna stop me baby
You can't stop me now
I'm tryna fit in, might blow up big there
To feel the good fortune
Nothing's gonna stop me baby
Stop me baby, stop me baby

My one-way ticket to Mexico
One-way ticket to Mexico

One-way ticket to Mexico
One-way ticket to Mexico
