Down below El Paso,
Lies Juaréz
Mexico is diferent
Like the travel folder says
Cross the rio grande
And you will find
An old an old adobe big cold house
Where you leave your past behind

One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
It takes no time at all to get
A mexican divorce!

As I came home to this empty house
Last night
Looked at all the windows
And I couldn't find one light
I found you on this road to Mexico
And now, my love, I'm pleading
Please, oh please, don't go!

One day married, next day free,
Broken hearts for you and me.
Takes no time at all to get
A mexican divorce

Finding love takes so long
Walking out must be wrong
It's a sin for you to get
A mexican divorce!
