ZZ Top - Goin' Down To Mexico [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
It's been the same way for oh so long
It looks like I'm singing the same old song

[Verse 2]
A fine and fancy man was he
Doing good things for the poor
Giving rides in his rocking 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
I'm from a distant shore"

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A Nineteen Forty movie star
With a long forgotten name
She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress
Still hanging on to fame
With forgotten lines she missed her cue
And left a glass of wine at home
She was singing the same song that I was
Could we both be wrong?

[Chorus]
