Lyrics Gone to Mexico - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

Gone to Mexico

Got to get away from the telephone
I don’t want to hear it ring anymore
Mi vida loca is out of hand
I’m off to be the solitary man
Take my guitar and a change of clothes
Leave the rest by the side of the road
Break these chains and fly away
To live and love another day
I’ll take my aching heart to a place I know
And soak it in the sun 'til it don’t hurt anymore
A secret place, a little town I know
Tell 'em I’ve gone to Mexico
There are a lot of things that you just can’t do
But you’ve got to have a dream or two
And when the sideshow gets you down
Sometimes it’s good just to get out of town
I’ll take my aching heart to a place I know
And soak it in the sun 'til it don’t hurt anymore
A secret place, a little town I know
Tell 'em I’ve gone to Mexico
