D-DU-UDU
Margie  said Roy  you ain't listening  to me
And  I got a whole  lot more to say
 Roy just crossed  the floor and picked  up his car keys
And  she ain't seen or heard  from him to this  day
And  that's why God made Mexico
A  place where we can lay  low
 And the Cuervo  goes down nice  and slow
 And the warm  wind blows
That's  why God  made Mexico
And  Betty fixed Joe  dinner every night  half past six
Cause  that's when he'd roll  through that door
 Cause sixteen years  and not a thank  you from his lips
She  don't fix  him dinner no more
 REPEAT CHORUS
Cause  life is sweet in a border  town
You  learn to let your hair  down
 And you don't  make trouble,  you learn to dance  the fandango
You  change your name, and you change  your face
Get  used to beans, and chili  paste
 And you learn  to live  and love  life in  the slow  lane
 Last Chorus:
And  that's why God made Mexico
A  place where we can lay  low
 Maybe Monterrey  or Acapulco
 Anywhere the warm  winds blow,  don't ya know
That's  why God  made Mexico--o
  (no chord)
 That's why God made...made Mexico
