Going Down to Mexico
Escape to Mexico: A Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
Well he got up Sunday put on his jeans
He prepared for a journey on Sunday, wearing his jeans.
Packed his bags and cleaned his teeth
He packed his belongings and attended to his oral hygiene.
Fetched the car had something to eat
He got his car and had a meal before setting off.
Now he's going down to Mexico
His destination is Mexico.
Feeling bitter he got some gas
Feeling resentful, he fueled up his vehicle.
His old lady sure was a rat
His partner was unpleasant, causing dissatisfaction.
He beat her up she wrecked the flat
A physical altercation occurred, resulting in damage to their living space.
Now he's going down to Mexico
Despite the situation, he is proceeding to Mexico.
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Going down to Mexico
Reiteration of the intention to go to Mexico.
Going down to Mexico
Repetition emphasizing the journey to Mexico.
That's the only place where he can go
Highlighting that Mexico is the only option or escape.
So he's going down to Mexico
Confirmation of the decision to go to Mexico.
It ain't no joy to run away
Expressing that running away is not a joyful choice.
Things got much too bad to stay
Conditions at home became intolerable, prompting the departure.
And Mexico is far away
Mexico is portrayed as a distant place from the current troubles.
So he's going down to Mexico
Reaffirmation of the decision to head to Mexico.
