So long Texas, hello Mexico

by International

I was sitting in traffic
Listening to the radio
George Strait was singin'
"Seashores of Old Mexico"
It sounded so good
I got an idear
I'm gonna go there
Since they're all over here
The Lone Star State
Should be renamed "Texico"

So Long, Texas - Hello, Mexico
I'm gonna swim the Rio Grande at El Paso
I'm leaving tonight
I ain't gonna pack
I'm only taking
The clothes on my back
So Long, Texas - Hello, Mexico

I'll drive a rattletrap car
With no liability
I'll demand equal rights
Though I'm there illegally
I'll protest in the streets
Til they finally grant 'em
Sing English words
To their national anthem
Hey ! El Presidente
What's right for your people
Should be right for me

There's no controlling
That tide that keeps rolling
Across the line
This ol' Texas cowboy
Feels like my home state's
No longer mine

Yep ! Turnabout's fair play
Heck ! I already love the food
And tequila !
I'm gonna fly that Lone Star flag
and Old Glory every day
I'm gonna celebrate every Fourth of July
I'm gonna make them print them forms in English
just for me!
I'm gonna marry me a pretty senorita and we're
gonna have free medical care and free
education for all our kids!
Heck! Playing my ol' guitar's the only
Other skill I've got !
Hmm - I wonder if I'll see ol' George Strait
over there
Hey, Gringo ! You're swimming the wrong way, 
man!
Yeah, yeah ! I know ! Hey, Amigo !
You got a seester ?
