SOMEWHERE SOUTH
OF OLD CANCUN

written by john kringstad

I swear I can feel her when I drink my tequila

her memory comes around and I'm consumed

I vividly remember the moonlit beach in mid-December

that girl was like no other lover I ever knew

no other lover I ever knew

​

somewhere south of old Cancun 

down on the Riviera Maya

fell in love so deep and true

she'll forever be my sole desire

but I couldn't stay

we had to say goodbye

somewhere south of old Cancun

somewhere south of old Cancun

​

loving her was like nothing else

overwhelming feelings ____

I was tangled in her magic all night long

her body played a melody

____ sensuality

with a groove that was primal, pure, and strong

primal, pure, and strong

​

somewhere south of old Cancun 

down on the Riviera Maya

fell in love so deep and true

she'll forever be my sole desire

but I couldn't stay

we had to say goodbye

somewhere south of old Cancun

somewhere south of old Cancun

​

now there's a better wind that's blowing

through my lonesome, frozen soul

Lord, it's killing me just knowing

that she once was mine to hold

what I'd give to see her dark eyes

___ her skin so soft and tan

have one more endless night

on the Yucatan

​

somewhere south of old Cancun 

down on the Riviera Maya

fell in love so deep and true

she'll forever be my sole desire

but I couldn't stay

we had to say goodbye

somewhere south of old Cancun

somewhere south of old Cancun

​

swear I can feel her

when I drink my tequila

her memory comes around and I'm consumed

I vividly remember the moonlit beach in mid-December

somewhere south of old Cancun
