(Vincent Matthews)

I no longer notice if you're wearing perfume
I quit smoking girl you never even knew
And the road is full of young and restless people
And they pull off the energy to move.

It's the habit for us to stay together
We said and watched the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year I left for California
This is my year for Mexico.

We used to whisper low across the night time
Now we never whisper nor we call
Our love was left upon the shelf from winter
Where the sunlight never touches it at all.

It's the habit for us to stay together
We said and watched the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year I left for California
This is my year for Mexico.

Your back is turned to me while you are reading
I close my eyes while I pretend to toe
From the road I hear the sound of passing traffic
Some of them are bound for Mexico.

It's the habit for us to stay together
We said and watched the nightly shadows grow
Every day last year I left for California
This is my year for Mexico.

This is my year for Mexico...
