(This is a hard song to find, so this is the version that I play in the
clubs. I think it's very accurate, though. Just keep the same chord
progressions and tempo throughout the song, and you'll have the whole place
singing along by the second chorus!! Keep on pickin'!!)
G Am C D
Life was kinda hectic and I was having trouble sleeping
G Am C D
I was going crazy and I had to get away
G Am C D
I loaded up my pickup for a Mexican vacation
G Am C D
I didn't know the language but I quickly learned to say
G Am C D
Una mas cervesa por favor senorita
G Am C D G
Una mas cervesa por favor senorita
I kept right on driving until I hit the ocean
Found a small cantina down on Monterrey way
Met up with a girl down there but she did not speak any English
I probably coulda had her too, but all I knew how to say was
(repeat chorus)
Woke up the next morning and I knew I was in trouble
I was extremely naked lying face down in the sand
Stumbled to me feet, started looking for my old pickup
I would've asked for help, but all I knew how to say was
(repeat chorus)
So if your life is hectic and your having trouble sleeping
Think your going crazy and you got to get away
The thought has crossed your mind about a trip down to the border
Let me tell you something, all you need to know how to say is
(repeat chorus) 2X
