Mexico Gold Lyrics by The Hollies

Out on the Road

0

[Verse 1]
Thought I'd take a trip down to the old world
'Cause I heard a lot of things about the North American girls
I was looking for a lady
Someone to have my baby

[Verse 2]
So I got me on a 747 Pan-American plane
I sat me down next to your all-American dame
Said I'm going up north, she said it's a pity
Then she told about the gold down in Mexico City

[Chorus]
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

[Verse 3]
Got off the plane, went to the customs and they gave me a list
Do you carry a gun, take drugs or are you Communist?
They said my papers were in order
I wasn't staying long, no sir, I'm going south across the border

[Chorus]
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Took the first southbound across the Rio and down
Found a little peace in a small Mexico town
Just me and my lady
Now she's having my baby

[Chorus]
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh, she said "Lordy, Lordy, watch the blue smoke flying
Every morning and every night to get you out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Oh man, oh Lordy, Lordy, it's a natural high
When you're living down south and it's going right out of your head
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
