I climb the Alamo everyday
And fight with banditos
Until our backs ache
Then its off to the cantina
We knock back tequila
And put down our weapons
It’s liars dice and senoritas
Til the sun breaks from the heavens
Chorus
Welcome to Mexico California
Corona's on sale
By bottle or a pale
Bikini wax girls with warm ya
But the sunshine boys
Don't want calloused hands
And the government is in bed
With the business man
I’m outgunned
I wonder if its better in Georgia
Welcome To Mexico California
v2
Yuppies rake in the thousands
But who do they call
To work on their houses
It’s Jose with a low ball
Cut the price to nothing
Then bitch about the extortion
Plant plastic flamingos
Here’s few beers polish our Porsche's
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Where's the border of the US
it's anybody's guess
I'm sleeping ten in a bed
chorus

Nice sounds here
Well honed skills in abundance

I've less than a vague idea of what the alamo is
I do have some experience with the Mexican senorita types, though. 😆

Very colourful lyrics
Not so hippy naive.
Yes, politics is often complicated. 

I heard trump will have that tulsi, hawaian lady, as running mate.
She seems to be a bit of an opportunist, a careerist,
 but oh my, what a beautiful woman!
I can't imagine selecting her being trumps idea.
Smart move. It'll improve his public image immeasurably.

Of course, your song
Reminds me of hotel california (with that iconic solo)
It must resonate with thousands of californians.

It was written in 2017 , Maybe I'll recut it myself to sing , its still relevant in 2024
California hates Trump , Will see how that plays out in November. Bottom line they all fight to much and don't get much done . 
There's no reason why everyone should be stressed out to live a decent life , They seem to be more... how can we make life more difficult. 
Childish leaders

thanks

As always, very elaborate songcraft, very well written and recorded.
Still, this one is a bit too smooth for me but maybe that's only because of the xylophone

[Elvis Nash]

Do I really want to recut this and piss off people on politics ?
Maybe not
Thanks

Hi @Elvis Nash

As always, it's sublimely produced. Personally, I'm not sold on the xylophone on first listen but it could just be unfamiliarity and it's nice to see it getting put to use outside it's usual borders - perhaps in keeping with the lyrics.  The vocal melody alongside some of the chords changes worked really well. High songcraft on display.

  All best,

After 20 years studying with professional song writers , I should at least know how to write a decent song
The demo guys added the xylophone. its a 5 year old song , I had no hand in production .
I might recut 10 songs done by other singers and do them myself . and just write to cut later.
This song would be like throwing rocks at a hornets nest , Not sure i want the heat on promotion and politics 
Thanks

You are very productive!!!! Another good song, another very good production, catchy song, very current, this new air for this type of stories and as always, great lyrics. @Elvis Nash

[Elvis Nash]

Maybe I'll recut about 7 songs written with a hit writer in my key
This was lone write done about 6 years ago , Could be fun re cutting it
its a bit of a funny song
thanks
