Goin Down To Mexico

GOIN’ DOWN TO MEXICO As recorded by ZZ Top (From the 1971 Album ZZ TOP’S FIRST ALBUM) [Intro]         [Verse 1] I was on   my way down to Mex - ic-o There was trouble on the rise            It was nothing more than I’d left    behind Which was much  to my surprise        I turned around and lit a cigarette Wiped the dust off of my boots When up ahead I saw   the crowd     I knew it was no use            It’s been the same way for oh so long It looks like I’m singing the same  old song              [Verse 2] A fine  and fancy man was he Doing good things for the poor        Giving rides  in his rocking Eighty-eight   for free    They could not hope for more         When it came my turn he said to me "Have I seen your face before?" I said  "Oh no you must be  wrong    I’m from a distant shore"        So if you don’t mind I’ll just move along but It looks like  I’m singing the same   old song   [Interlude]                              [Guitar Solo]                [Verse 3] A Nineteen Forty movie star With a long forgotten name         She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress   Still hanging on to fame        With forgotten lines she missed her cue And left a glass of wine at home She was singing the same song that I   was     Could we both be wrong?             So hand in hand we walked along Each of us singin’ the same old song.
