His name was Steve, Her name was Gina, (Spoken) You've never been here before have you? They met at a bar called Caboapo Cantina, He was a salesman from South Dakota, She was a first grade school teacher Phoenix Arizona, (Spoken) No, my first time here They started dancing and it got real hot, Then it spilled over to the parking lot, One more tequila they were falling in love, One more is never enough [Chorus:] Don't bite off more than you can chew, There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do, Just remember when you let it all go, What happens in Mexico, Stays in Mexico He woke up in the morning and he made a little telephone call, To check on his wife and his kids back at home in Sioux Falls, She hopped right in the shower with a heavy heavy mind, (Spoken) What am I doing? He knew it was the first time Gina had ever crossed that line, They walked down to the beach and started drinking again, Jumped into the ocean for a dirty swim, One more margarita they were falling in love, One more is never enough [Chorus] Oh Mexico Waiting at the bar at the terminal gate, She says 'Steve I gotta go, I'm going to miss my plane' He said one more tequila before you climb on up, She said one more is never enough [Chorus] Stays in Mexico, Stays in Mexico, Stays in Mexico, Oh Mexico
