[Verse 1] I was doing time at a federal facility We was watching grass grow and working hard for free When the man on the PA said come to R & D I asked myself, what's he want with me? [Verse 2] He said pack your stuff, son, and don't be late Cause they're picking you up at the stroke of eight I shook my head and I kinda grinned You see, he had me mixed up with a Mexican [Verse 3] So before he had a chance to scoop the score In my best accent I said, "Sí, Señor Muchas enchilada, muy bien burrito I'll be right back, adios, amigo" [Verse 4] Well the border patrol, they was there at eight My heart near stopped when they opened the gate They put me on a bus with all of my things When they hit that road and I wanted to sing [Chorus] I said, "ah-ee ah-ee ah-ee, Mexico! A Free bus ride and fresh 'see-note'" I was doing life and had twenty to go But now I'm free as a bird down in Mexico [Verse 5] Yeah, I grew my hair long, got a mustache and beard I wear a big sombrero and it sure looks weird But it got me a job and a pretty señorita She rubs my back and makes a mean margarita [Verse 6] Yeah, I'm a legalized Mexi-can grrriingo trucker But sometimes I think about that other sucker And I wonder if he's still locked up doing time And if he is, is he doing his or mine? [Chorus] I said, "ah-ee ah-ee ah-ee, Mexico! A Free bus ride and fresh 'see-note'" I was doing life and had twenty to go But now I'm free as a bird down in Mexico [Bridge] Yeah, they put me on a bus, said, "Don't come back" They hit that road, I had a heart attack I said, "ah-ee ah-ee ah-ee, Mexicooo! Free bus ri-i-i-ide down to Mexico!"
