My boss treats me poorly
My friends they ignore me
Traffic gets me nowhere
And the air I can't breathe
I'm thinking of a place
Where I can be free and
Looking for someone to take there with me
El Sueño, Mexico might be so far
But I'll get there by walkin' or in a broke down car
I'll take a walk on a white sandy beach
Build me a hut where the rent's real cheap
I live near the highway
Where fumes burn my nose and
I water my roses with an old leaky hose
All the men I meet smoke too much dope
And can't hold a job, not one bit of hope
I'm thinking of a place where I can be free and I'm
Looking for someone to take there with me
El Sueño, Mexico might be so far
But we'll get there by walkin' or in a broke down car
We'll take a walk on a white sandy beach
Build us a hut where the rent's real cheap
Find us a bar not far from home
And make a few pesos to live on
Work our own hours and be our own boss
Stare at the sunset 'til day's light is lost
We'll pick bananas from dune lined trees
And lift our heads up to the sweet ocean breeze
El Sueño, Mexico might be so far
But we'll get there by walkin' or in a broke down car
We'll find El Sueño where the sky's always blue
And be happy forever if I can be there with you
