I was going through a divorce at the time. My wife, soon to be ex-wife always loved Mexico and had been to Cobo many, many times before we were married. She decided to take another trip Mexico during our divorce and upon leaving for her trip, she again reminded me how much she loved Mexico and I said yeah maybe you'd love me still IF I WAS MEXICO. The song was born.

V1
YOU ALWAYS SAID YOU LOVED MEXICO
AND WHEN YOU LEFT THAT'S WHERE I KNEW YOU'D GO
WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ALCALPOCO
WHILE MAKING LOVE TO YOUR COSMO
CH
IF I WAS MEXICO THEN I'D HAVE YOU ALL ALONE
WE'LL FALL A SLEEP WITH THE SUNSET
I'M AS GOOD AS IT’S GONNA GET...
YOU WOULD ALWAYS NEED ME
YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE.........ME
YOU WOULD NEVER LET GO
IF I WAS MEXICO
V2
FEEL MY SAND BETWEEN YOUR TOES
DANCE WITH ME WHERE THE WARM WIND BLOWS
TAKE YOUR TROUBLES TO MY OCEAN BLUE
YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE SO TRUE....
REPEAT CH
BRIDGE
GET A LITTLE BUZZ ON MY ISLAND RUM
THAT COCANUT TAN'L BE FINE THANKS TO MY PARADISE SUN
REPEAT CH
TAG
NO, YOU WOULD NEVER LET GO
IF I WAS MEXICO
