I love you, mama, but I'm leaving home
Said one morning after breakfast
Have not done neither of my dreams
Over forty, I have no time for me
I never did what I wanna do
I never went to Mexico
Sorry mama, have to understand
My life goes by so quickly
There's a girl where I work
She’s only thirty years old
Pretty, so pretty, like when you were young
She wanna escape with me
She had an old red rancher car
And a small apartment in the city
She doesn’t care about my age
Only my life experience
I never did anything cool
And never went to Mexico
There's a girl where I work
She’s only thirty years old
Pretty, so pretty, like when you were young
She wants to escape with me
Year later pretty girl ran away
With a pretty boy of the same pretty age
He had a house in Caribbean Sea
Very long hair and a band of Reggae
I never went to Mexico
I spent my money to return home
Now spend my days watching TV
Dreaming about girls, drinking beer
Year later pretty girl ran away
With a pretty boy of the same pretty age
I love you mama, but you're so old
I said one morning after breakfast
