John Waite - Run To Mexico Lyrics

Artist: John Waite

Album: Essentials

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Harold Faltermeyer

Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I could take you there
You could get what you want in the south, you could let down your hair
I said do you, don't you, will you, won't you
Baby, won't you please let me know?
I ain't talkin' 'bout Chicago, I'm talkin' about Mexico

Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico
Could you?

Come on baby, 'cos I got to go, the law is after me
I killed a man in a bar last night, there was no other way it could be
While the air in this joint could be cut with a knife
As the jukebox got rocked into lections

Bring a compass and some money for gas
'Cos I ain't gonna stop for directions
Not to Mexico

Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico
Could you?

Come on baby, don't you wanna go? I gotta get away
And every time the phone rings, it scares me to death
Saw my face in the paper today
I don't wanna hear the stories 'bout your mama and papa

No, I don't wanna hear you cry
For me, there's no second chance right now
It's the end for me, I can't lie

Makin' a run for Mexico, makin' a run for Mexico
Makin' a run to Mexico
My life goes on in Mexico

Mexico
(In Mexico)

Mexico
(In Mexico)

Mexico
(In Mexico)
...
