I really like the melody of this song. This song describes the protagonist escaping from his real problems and immersing himself in alcohol. It depicts the heat, beaches, music, and people of Mexico, as well as the protagonist forgetting all his troubles and enjoying the present scene.  repeated lyrics: I'm at these crossroads in my life And I really don't know which way to go So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Kenny Chesney started his music career while attending East Tennessee State University, where he played in local bars and honky-tonks.
