- Mexican Divorce LyricsDown below El Paso lies Juarez
Mexico is different
Like the travel folder says
Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
An old adobe house
Where you leave your past behind
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce
As I came into this empty house last night
Looked at all the windows
But I couldn't find one light
I found you on this road to Mexico
And now, my love, I'm pleading
Please, oh please, don't go
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce
Finding love takes so long
Walking out must be wrong
It's a sin for you to get
A Mexican divorce
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get . . .
Mexico is different
Like the travel folder says
Cross the Rio Grande and you will find
An old adobe house
Where you leave your past behind
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce
As I came into this empty house last night
Looked at all the windows
But I couldn't find one light
I found you on this road to Mexico
Please, oh please, don't go
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get
A Mexican divorce
Finding love takes so long
Walking out must be wrong
It's a sin for you to get
A Mexican divorce
One day married, next day free
Broken hearts for you and me
Takes no time at all to get . . .

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, the Drifters' 'Mexican Divorce' delves into the evanescent character of love and the simple way out through a Mexican divorce, thereby juxtaposing the abrupt intermission of an affair and the extensive quest to meet love. It presents Mexico as a symbol of a new beginning and a retreat from prior sorrows. The lyrics of Mexican divorce mainly highlight the themes of heartbreak, love, and reflection, and despair. The song also reveals the writer's stress on the transient nature of love, regret, and exclamation, and at the same time holds the divorce-up attitude against teaching. Together with a reference to the universal issue of 'broken hearts' the lyrics suggest letting go of one's past which might be a very heavy emotional experience for kids and teens. Nonetheless, the narrative is not graphic nor are there portrayals of violence, nudity, or drug use, thus coming down to a PG rating.
