lyrics

Thought I’d go down to Baja to forget you
Try life the South of the Border way
Street tacos and huaraches surfing every day
Napping in a hammock 12 o’clock Corona
Thoughts of you keep dogging me feeling so alone

Lolling in the sand going to a burn from a tan
Mexicali, Ensenada, anywhere I choose
Still got a case of the Baja Blues

Tried to lose myself in La Paz there was no peace for me to find
Hitched a ride to Todos Santos looking for more of my kind
How can you go wrong with All Saints? Found out from St. Cecilia
Found me talking to the cows after one too many shots of tequila

Lolling in the sand going to a burn from a tan
Mexicali, Ensenada, anywhere I choose
Still got a case of the Baja Blues

Sailed out to Guadalupe Island went face to face with a white shark
Found out what I was made of got an armful of bite marks

Lolling in the sand going to a burn from a tan
Mexicali, Ensenada, anywhere I choose
Still gotta case of the Baja Blues
