Goin' Down To Mexico Lyrics - Zz Top's First Album - Zz Top

Words and music by Billy Gibbons, Bill Ham, Dusty Hill. 

I was on my way down to Mexico, 

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.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'ts been the same way for Oh so long, 

it looks like I'm singing the same old song. 

A fine and fancy man was he, 

doing good things for the poor. 

Givin' rides in his rockin' 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 singin' the same old song."

A Nineteen Forty movie star 

with a long forgotten name. 

She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress, 

still hangin' on to fame. 

With forgotten lines she missed her cue 

and left a glass of wine at home. 

She was singin' 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.
