Verse 1:
That bachelor bash, well it got outta control,
With moonshine stills and guns takin’ their toll.
The fellas got rowdy, and the county heard it all,
Fireworks and dynamite, just havin’ a ball.
We ‘borrowed’ a wagon and two Morgans for fun,
Drove ’em right to the church when the night was done.

My buddies swore they’d return the horses by dawn,
But here I am in Mexico, with those horses still gone.

Chorus:
A Mexico honeymoon sure came in handy,
With the law chasin’ me, and me needin’ a little Candy
With tequila in my glass and the beach sandy,
We’re hidin’ in plain sight, hiding from trouble Grandee.
Mexico sure is comin’ in handy.

Verse 2:
Well, my ninth grade coach and history man,
Said someday all the laws would get outta hand,
Who knew he’d be right, and I’d be on the run,
With a honeymoon to hide me from being undone.
The bride didn’t know what she was in for, dear,
But Mexico’s sunsets made our troubles disappear.

Chorus:
Mexico sometimes comes in handy,
The sheriff’s got a warrant but it ain’t bad feelin’ randy.
We’re sippin’ margaritas, dodgin’ the heat,
While the lawyers back home get me back on my feet.
Mexico sure is comin’ in handy.

Bridge:
Thank God the sheriff’s never heard of Interpol,
And the bounty hunters are tired and slow.
She checks us in, I hold the door,
Buyin’ time ‘til my lawyer evens the score.

Verse 3:
Dancin’ under moonlight, but stayin’ outta sight,
This marriage sure don’t hurt every night.
Down here in Mexico, it’s romance on the run,
And tequila makes the tension feel a little more fun.
The mariachi plays “Desperado” with a wink and a grin,
I give them a ten and they start playing again.

Chorus:
A Mexico honeymoon sure came in handy,
Dodgin’ the law with a drink that’s fancy.
With sunsets that hide us from the trouble I’ve made,
We’re hidin’ out south while my debts get paid.
Mexico sure is comin’ in handy.

Verse 4:
The bride’s still wonderin’ what she’s gotten herself into,
Didn’t know she married an outlaw with a view.
I ran over that campaign yard sign with my truck,
It started a firestorm of real bad luck.
Now we’re dancin’ in Cancun, runnin’ from the law,
And every sunset’s like a whiskey-filled thaw.

Chorus:
A Mexico honeymoon sure came in handy,
With the law behind us, the drinks are plenty.
Soakin’ up sunshine while the lawyers fight,
Stayin’ south of the border till the time is right.

Outro:
So raise a glass to the coach who saw it comin’,
To a runaway groom and a bride okay with runnin’.
Mexico’s margaritas might just do the trick,
‘Til the lawyers sort out this outlaw’s kicks.

We’re layin’ low in the land of sand,
Thank goodness, she don’t mind waitin’ out the law with a drink in hand.

Tag:
Sure would be bad if we’d gone to the mountains or the city.

I don’t even wanna think about that…
