Lyrics

I just want to be a good, good father
Set a good example every day
Show them there’s a time for workin’
And then there’s a time for play
How to always say the right thing
And try to mean it if you can
But when the snow piles up and the lights go out
You’ve gotta find another plan

Today we’re going down to Mexico
So tell your neighbors this is more than they can handle
Unless they want to spend the next few weeks
Trying to melt snow with a candle
When the going gets tough The
tough get going
So think it’s time to go
I want to be a good father
So I’m Cruzin’ down to Mexico

I just want to be a good good father
And teach my children wrong from right
And show them daddy is a big shot in the Lone Star State
He never backs down from a fight
And when you go to pick your battles
Always choose the ones you’re gonna win
But when all your plans go sideways
You’ve gotta know just how to spin

Today we’re going down to Mexico
So tell your neighbors this is more than they can handle
Unless they want to spend the next few weeks
Trying to melt snow with a candle
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
So think it’s time to go
I want to be a good father
So I’m Cruzin’ down to Mexico

Down in Mexico
Trust me, baby, they won’t even know we’re gone
Down in Mexico
Where the sun shines bright
And the lights are always on
Down in Mexico
If this plan goes wrong and they ask about the grids
Don’t you worry
We can always blame it on our kids

Today we’re going down to Mexico
So tell your neighbors this is more than they can handle
Unless they want to spend the next few weeks
Trying to melt snow with a candle
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
So think it’s time to go
I want to be a good father
So I’m Cruzin’ down to Mexico

I want to be a good father
So I’m Cruzin’ down to Mexico
