That's Why God Made Mexico

[Verse 1]

Margie said "Roy, you ain't listening to me"

And I've got a whole lot more to say

Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys

And she ain't seen or heard from him to this day

[Chorus]

And that's why God made Mexico

A place where we can lay low

And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow

And the warm wind blows

That's why God made Mexico

[Verse 2]

And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night at half past six

'Cause that's when he rolled through that door

For sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips

She don't fix him dinner no more

[Chorus]

And that's why God made Mexico

A place where we can lay low

Well, the Cuervo goes down nice and slow

And the warm wind blows

That's why God made Mexico

[Verse 3]

'Cause life is sweet in a border town

You learn to let your hair down

And you don't make trouble

You learn to dance the Fandango

You change your name, maybe change your face

Get used to beans and chili paste

And you learn to live and love

Life in the slow lane

[Chorus]

And that's why God made Mexico

A place where we can lay low

Maybe Marley Red or Acapulco

Anywhere the warm wind blows, don't ya know

That's why God made Mexico

[Outro]

That's why God made

Made Mexico
