Cover art for Mexico lyrics by James Taylor

Our friends, The Bensons, invited us to Cabo San Lucas last April and each day we'd spend the day on the beach. At 3:00 each afternoon our friend put on his tape of JT singing this song. It was an anthem to our escape to paradise. James really put some heart into this song and the song is never dated. I believe it was written in the 70's and here 30 years later is still applies to our visit to paradise.
