Goin' Down to Mexico by ZZ Top

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

Its 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' 88 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 1940 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
