Lyrics

I've heard you say there's nowhere to go
When winter winds start to blow raining snow
On your parade and the music fades

Oh I know a town that'll warm you all day
They capture the sun then give it away that's what they say
Its close to LA down Mexicali way

There's nothing to lose but your shirt and shoes
Just start anew like snowbirds do it's up to you
While you're still young go follow the sun

Go west young man it's intoxicating
When the guitar band fills the air at night
Stop shoveling snow your times a wasting
Down in Mexico they're dancing all night

Oh you always say that love passed you by
But down on the bay you'll come alive burning bright
Like a star in the night in those southern lights

And when the sun comes up there on the beach
You'll feel the sand underneath your feet life is sweet
Put your sandals on they're playing your song

Go west young man it's intoxicating
When the guitar band fills the air at night
Stop shoveling snow your times a wasting
Down in Mexico they're watching bull fights

There's nothing to lose but your shirt and shoes
Just start anew like snowbirds do it's up to you
While you're still young go follow the sun

And when the snow gets deep back here in the east
You'll wear a tan where it's 80 degrees having fun
Put your sunglasses on they're playing your song

Oh I know a town that'll warm you all day
They capture the sun then give it away that's what they say
When the music plays down Mexicali way

When the music plays down Mexicali way
When the music plays down Mexicali way
