[Verse 1]
Come on, baby, don't you wanna go
Way down south, talking about Mexico
Straight through the jungle, out to the sea
We'll have some fun if you fly away with me
Like some old movie in black and white
We'll fall in love in the middle of the night

[Chorus]
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz

[Verse 2]
Come on, baby, don't you wanna come
In the town, people moving to the drums
Rosa's Cantina, it never stops
Drinking cerveza, people party until they drop
Forget the laundry, forget the rain
We'll get to heaven on the seven-thirty plane

[Chorus]
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you want to, down in Veracruz

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
