[Intro]
G  Am   D   G   G
It was G3 a.m. got a call from my friends in DTijuana
They said we're down in Mexico, man, you outta go Ghop a plane, if you wanna
We been soakin' up the sun G7here havin' fun, hangin' Cout on the B7beach and Amdrinkin'
As I Dpacked my bags, couldn't help but laugh as I Ggot to thinkin'
[Chorus]
Can you really be Gdown, G7in Mexi- Cco?
With sweet Gdrinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with Ctears you know
From EmMonterrey to DTampico Bay, don't matter Ghow far Amsouth Dyou Cgo
Can you really be Gdown Din Mexico? G  G  
[Instrumental]
G   D   G   G
So Ghere I am, surrounded by sand and Dclear water
Watchin' the sunshine makin' tan lines, Gdon't know which is hotter
Mariachi bands don't G7play the blues and, that Cproves it's the B7only Amplace
That Dyou can have a broken heart and a smile on Gyour face
[Chorus]
Can you really be Gdown, G7in Mexi- Cco?
With sweet Gdrinks in hand, girls with cinnamon tans, don't mix with Ctears you know
From EmMonterrey to DTampico Bay, don't matter Ghow far Amsouth Dyou Cgo
Can you really be Gdown Din Mexico?G  
[Outro]
Oh, from EmMonterrey to DTampico Bay, don't matter Ghow far Amsouth Dyou Cgo
Can you really be Gdown Din Mexico?G  
Can you really be down Din Mexico? G  G  D  G
