The hay is stacked and the woods been split/ The shoes are pulled and the steers been shipped/ It's a good routine going on seven years/ It's the reason he's alive, summer workin' at the O Bar Y/ But he can't wait 'till the blue birds migrate/ Because
(Chorus)
Richard takes the right fork road down south as far as it goes/ Down where they call him Ricardo/ He hung a buffalo in his bungalow/ To remind himself where to go/ When he's done soakin' up that winter Baja sun
Ridin' the ocean like cowboys do/ In Bermuda shorts and his cowboy boots/ Like the autumn leaves, the colors shine down inside the sea/ Big corrals full of coral, there ain’t no need to quarrel/ He sleeps away the hot part of the day/ Because
(Chorus)
Richard takes the right fork road down south as far as it goes/ Down where they call him Ricardo/ He hung a buffalo in his bungalow/ To remind himself where to go/ When he's done soakin' up that winter Baja sun
(Bridge)
Sunny beaches, señoritas, big fiestas and margaritas/ He knows Jimmy Buffet would be so proud
(Chorus)
Richard takes the right fork road down south as far as it goes/ That's where they call him Ricardo/ With sand between his toes, pocket full of pesos/ Canteen full of Quervo Gold/ He'll be soakin' up that winter Baja, winter Baja, that winter Baja sun
