Beer in Mexico Lyrics
Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart
Too old to be wild and free still
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start
So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Sun comes up and sun sinks down
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul
From the answers and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go
So I just ...
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Maybe I'll settle down, get married
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me
So I'll just ...
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Down in Mexico ...
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
'Bout life and love and lack of
And this emptiness in my heart
Too young to be over the hill
Should I try to grow up
But who knows where to start
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
And I seen 'em both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know
Which way to go
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away
Or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel
Is still a mystery to me
Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away

Greatest song ever made. Beer + Mexico = ultimate song idea ever. Why has no one ever thought of this before kenny? BTW the only song he solely wrote on the road and the radio.
It is a great help that I'm not the only one who doesn't know what to do whit this live: "Too old to be wild and free still Too young to be over the hill Should I try to grow up But who knows where to start" And totally perfect: "Do my best to waste another day"
Definitely, the lines about being too old to be wild and free but still too young to be over the hill ring true. I think a lot of us early-thirties types can identify with that.
This is a great tune, but I often wonder whether he is singing about the choice between going 'gay' or going 'straight'. He's obviously at some crossroads in his life between getting married or staying single, but I think he's deciding on whether to come out of the closet or not.
