Текст — ZZ Top — Goin’ Down to Mexico

I was on my way down to mexico,
there was trouble on the rise.
it was nothing more than Id 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 Im singing the same old song.
A fine and fancy man was he,
doing good things for the poor.
givin rides in his rockin eighty-eight 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,
Im from a distant shore.

So if you dont mind, Ill just move along
but it looks like Im singin the same old song.
A nineteen forty 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.
