Mexico (Rick Roberts)


Last night it snowed for the first time, everything's covered in white
How many months till the springtime, it's a long winter's night
I have to go, I feel I'm sinkin'
I just don't know, but I can't stop thinkin'
Mexico

Somewhere that's close to the ocean, somewhere that's warm and alive
Somewhere to sleep in the open, with the sun in my eyes
I have to go, I feel I'm sinkin'
I just don't know, but I can't stop thinkin'
Mexico

Winter wind blowin', and Lord but they sting
Summer wind sing to me, promise me everything
Blue skies and sunshine wherever I go
Sweet senoritas are, waiting to love me I know
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico

Rick Roberts tells:
I was sleeping one night and I had a dream with the basics of this song.
I got up at about 3am and started writing it right then.
The mariachi horns were already there in the dream version.
