"Mexican Divorce" Lyrics
Down below El Paso lies Juárez –
Mexico is different – yes! – like the travel folder says!
Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
An old adobe house, where you leave your past behind!
One day married, next day free –
Broken hearts for you and me –
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce!
As I came home to this empty house last night
Looked at all the windows – yes I did! – but I couldn't find one light!
I found you on this road to Mexico
And now, my love, I'm pleading: Please, oh please, don't go!
One day married, next day free –
Broken hearts for you and me –
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce!
Finding love takes so long –
Walking out must be wrong –
It's a sin for you to get
A Mexican divorce!
One day married, next day free –
Broken hearts for you and me –
Takes no time at all to get...
