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
