Lyrics

We Lost Mexico

VERSE 1
Girl, we tried hard as we could
But trying to love didn't do any good
Days we spent in Veracruz
Had love to gain and nothing to lose
In red rooms, high in the hills
We had a chance at making more than thrills

CHORUS
But we lost Mexico
No, we won't get it back
For a while, I hoped so
But now, we'll leave it at that
We lost Mexico (Gone, gone, gone) 2X

VERSE 2
Winding streets, unwinding hearts
Hard to explain, now that we're apart
Ancient symbols, ancient chants
We couldn't conjure up real romance
We tried at love once, tried more than twice
We made love kind of a sad sacrifice

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

CHORUS & OUTRO
We lost Mexico
No, we won't get it back
For a while, I hoped so
But now, we'll leave it at that
We lost Mexico (Gone, gone, gone) 3X
