lyrics

I’m going down, down, down to the water tonight
I’m going down, down, down to the water tonight
I’m going down, down, down to the water tonight
I’m gonna swim with the fishes under the full moonlight

I left my home in the bay of San Francisco
I needed a new place to call my own
Well I looked to the east, I looked to the west
Felt the cold north wind then I knew it was the best
For me to head down to old Mexico

I packed my bags and I headed on down the coast
I made friends with every gringo in each pueblo
Well I had some good tequila in a place called Sayulita
And that very same night I knew that I was sold

I spent each night a jumpin’ from bar to bar
Sayin’ that I’d take it easy and then I’d take it too far
One day I said “That’s funny, I spent all of my money”
And I had no other choice but to sell my car

These days I like to call this place my home
But sometimes I guess I do get a little bit lonesome
Everybody’s just so groovy, feels like I’m in a movie
And when the curtain falls they all just up and go

Every night just seems like the one before
Already had this conversation, of that I’m sure
Well I get so bored, can’t take it no more
Don’t even know what I’m standing here for
So I head down to the beach all on my own
