Farewell to Mexico

Travlin' west from Uma on the road to El Cajon
The Pontiac was purrin' a gentle desert song
The working week was over. The long hot days behind
I needed a little me time to let myself unwind

And I watched the sun go down, driving home from Mexico
And it filled my heart with joy and a kind of inner glow
And I saw the sky turn red. Just a few more miles to go
Until I reach my bed. So farewell to Mexico. So farewell to Mexico

The sun was getting lower as I pulled aside to chill
Warm wind 'cross the desert as I looked down from the hill
But I had to keep on drivin' if I was gonna make my flight
Or find myself a quiet little hotel for the night

And I watched the sun go down, driving home from Mexico
And it filled my heart with joy and a kind of inner glow
And I saw the sky turn red. Just a few more miles to go
Until I reach my bed. So farewell to Mexico. So farewell to Mexico

The sun had set, the sky was dark. My stay had been too long
My heart was filled with sadness. I guess all hope was gone
I drove on up the valley road. My head was filled with pain
But as I reached the summit I saw the sun come up again

And I watched the sun go down, driving home from Mexico
And it filled my heart with joy and a kind of inner glow
And I saw the sky turn red. Just a few more miles to go
Until I reach my bed. So farewell to Mexico. So farewell to Mexico. So farewell to Mexico
Farewell to mexico. (Farewell to mexico)
Farewell to mexico. (Farewell to mexico)
