About I Got Mexico

"I Got Mexico" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Eddy Raven. It was released in January 1984 as the first single from the album I Could Use Another You. Co-written with Frank J. Myers, the song was Raven's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in June 1984, and spent a total of thirteen weeks in the top 40 of the country chart. The song became the first No. 1 produced or co-produced by Paul Worley, who had primarily been known as a session guitarist and a songwriter. Worley had previously produced hit singles for Gary Morris and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but he would become better known later as the producer of Martina McBride, and bands such as the Dixie Chicks, The Band Perry and Lady Antebellum. more »

I just got tired of that same old job,
Tired of fightin' that freeway mob.
I bet you never thought I'd really go,
I'd never get as far as Mexico.

But I've even learned to speak the language some,
Down on the beach drinkin' coke and rum.
You wouldn't know me with this golden glow,
Soakin' sun in Mexico.

I'm eatin right and I'm livin good,
Doin' everything I said I would.
I should have left a long time ago,
Who needs you? I got Mexico.

Through it all nothing's really changed,
No matter what honey that's a shame.
I still love you that's the way it goes,
He's got you, I've got Mexico.

But I'm eatin right and I'm livin good,
Doin' everything I said I would.
I should have left a long time ago,
Who needs you? I got Mexico.

I'm eatin right and I'm livin good,
Doin' everything I said I would.
I should have left a long time ago,
Who needs you? I got Mexico.

I'm eatin right and I'm livin good,
Doin' everything I said I would.
I should have left a long time ago,
Who needs you? I got Mexico.
