Down below El Paso lies JuarezMexico is different yes like a travel folder saysCross the Rio Grande and you will findAn old adobe houseWhere you leave your past behindOne day married, next day freeBroken hearts for you and meTakes no time, and all you to getA Mexican divorceAs I came into this empty house last nightLooked at all my windows, yes I did but I couldn’t find one lightI found you on that road to MexicoAnd now, my love, I begPlease, oh, please, don’t goOne day married, next day freeBroken hearts for you and meTakes no time, and all you to getA Mexican divorceFinding love takes so longWalking out must be wrongIt’s a sin for you to get a Mexican divorceOne day married, next day freeBroken hearts for you and me
