	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song while I was riding in the back of a pickup through the desert in Baja California. It was HOT, and I was noodling on my guitar when the music just came to me. Then when I had the guitar part the melody popped into my head, so QUICK I got out the mandolin and worked it up! Wrote the first verse and chorus right there too in the first half hour. It all came out so good that it stuck in my head all the way back to Oregon... so here I am right now recording it! Lyrics I'm heading down to Mexico a place for me and my friends to go So hop into the back if you want to come along We'll see the world from near and far and take our chances with the car So come on in right now and hit the road with me We'll Drive, Drive, toward the setting sun We'll Drive, Drive, the day has just begun We'll fly down the 5 until we meet the sea and see what Mexico has got for me We cross the border easily and ride the toll road by the sea How strange the people speak and stare at me It seems as though we've come so far but still we get back in the car It's a long road ahead, hold my hand we'll soon be free We'll Drive, Drive, toward the setting sun We'll Drive, Drive, the day has just begun We'll chase the sun around the world and taste the ocean breeze and see what Mexico has got for me Just as we pull into town our attention starts to come around there's so many things for me to see The sun shines down upon my head and miles of sand for my feet to tread so I run to the beach, my God, I'm free We'll Drive, Drive, toward the setting sun We'll Drive, Drive, the day is finally done We'll write our names in the sand and sleep out by the sea Now I've seen Mexico I'll never leave
