lyrics

I spent some time down in Mexico
I took a little trip down to Rosarito
I had no plans, just goin' to do my thing
I never saw it comin with that senorita and that crackerjack ring.
I thought I'd head South, Oaxaca was my rendezvous
Stopped in Salsipuedes, tried to catch a wave or two.
I slept out on the beach, stared up at the stars at night.
Sometimes being lonely feels a little less wrong than right.

Because a beautiful woman seems too good to be true

I woke up in the morning, eyes dry as a mouthful of sand
Foggy air, foggy head, empty jug of mescal in my hand
A bonita mamacita, she was walkin down by the shore
Came and sat next to me and said, "hola mi amor."
She took me back home, cooked me delicious things.
Juevos y nopalitos, desayunos tuggin on my heartstrings.
A couple warm tortillas: that would surely seal the deal.
I couldn't help myself, I had to tell her how I feel.

A beautiful woman who seems too good to be true,
Yea, she probably isn’t on the level with you.

Typical me, thought that I had found true love
But the American dream was all she was thinkin' of
I was on cloud nine when she said she'd be my wife
She was just waitin' in line to punch her ticket to a brand new life

She had rojo mal de ojos in her hair
Her eyes were raven black, her skin so soft and fair,
She took me places I never dreamed I’d see.
I wish I knew back then, she’d make a fool of me.

Because a beautiful woman who seems too good to be true,
Well, she probably isn’t on the level with you.
A beautiful woman always gettin her way,
She'll be gone before you know it as you’re begging her to stay.
