Cover art for Mexico lyrics by James Taylor

'Mexico' reminds me of a guy I dated years ago. We broke up and while it wasn't nice at the time, it's a real relief now that some time has passed. Being 'down in Mexico' is being away from your troubles and escaping the pressures of real life. It's dreaming of life beyond the current set of issues and relaxing in the moment where you know it'll all end up okay.
