Verse 1:

I just hit the Arizona border
On my way to who knows where
I’m headed anyplace that’s warmer
To get away from this chill in the air.

Since he left me it’s gotten so much colder
Our summer breeze is now a winter wind
Every time I pull off on the shoulder
I feel his memory chasin’ me again…


CHORUS:

I’m headed south…of his memory
Mexico might get him off my mind
I’m headed south…of his memory
Trouble is I left my heart behind.

Verse 2:

His leavin’ hit me like a cold blue northern
Now I’m livin’ in love’s snow and ice
My heart is so tired of being frozen
The hot Sonoran sun would sure feel nice.

Now, Nogales, is in my rear-view mirror
The Gulf of Mexico is up ahead
But, it’s so hard to outrun a memory
And he’s not that easy to forget…

CHORUS:

I’m headed south…of his memory
Mexico might get him off my mind
I’m headed south…of his memory
Trouble is I left my heart behind.
