There was a casino out in Vegas

Had a million dollars on the wall

Got my imagination working overtime

I knew I had to have it all

I knew I had to have it all

Sherrie was a dancer, she was a schemer

We came up with a fool-proof plan

She was workingit from the inside

I was her getaway man

Yeah, I was her getaway man

Taking it deep down into Mexico

No turning back once you go down that road

Just one place for a desperate

Despera do to go

Take it deep down into Mexico

Take it deep down into Mexico

It all went smooth and sweet as honey

We got it all and nobody got hurt

He and Sherrie, we were counting our money

When that little gun slid out of her purse

That little gun slid out of her purse

That's when she told me about her lover

That's when I knew I was in a terrible mess

She took the blame, he took the money

I took a bullet in my chest

I took a bullet in my chest

Taking it deep down into Mexico

No turning back once you go down that road

Just one place for a desperate

Despera do to go

Take it deep down into Mexico

Take it deep down into Mexico

Take it deep down into Mexico

Take it deep down into Mexico
