lyrics:

Well there’s only one place

Where her worries wash away

South of the border

Where tequila is made

That sun, sand and surf

She can’t get it off her mind

It’s always in Mexico

Day dreamin’ all the time

Now tucked away in Tulum

She found a little beach

Where the turtles swim around

And the palm trees reach

Out over the waves

That wash her footprints away

That’s one marguerita down

And one on the way

Mexico day dreamin’

It just takes her so far away

Mexico day dreamin’

Turns all her work right into play

There’s that memory from Cabo

That she can’t forget

The sangria was flowin’

And their eyes met

The lazy lights were draped over

That old town square

Dancin’ to mariachi

Runnin’ her hands through his hair

Mexico day dreamin’

It’s just reelin’ her all the way in

Mexico day dreamin’

Where all her feelins’ start to begin

Down in Puerto Vallarta

Where the sunsets are long

She was sippin on a pina colada

Beachcombin’ along

The starry night took over

Around the cozy camp fire

And her guitar startin’ strummin’

Singin’ songs about desire

Mexico day dreamin’

It just takes her to that special place

Mexico day dreamin’

Where all her troubles seem to erase

In San Miguel de Allende

Where the light meets the stone

There’s a little hacienda

Where she can be alone

The oil meets the canvas

While sippin’ tempranillo

And all the colors blend together

In that land called Mexico

Mexico day dreamin’

She can’t ever ever get enough

Mexico day dreamin’

It just fills her up with so much love

Mexico day dreamin’

It just takes her so far away

liner notes:

A song about a woman who can’t stop day dreaming about al the wonderful places she has spent time in Mexico - with all its unique cocktails and charm.
