Note: There is also a Rosarito further south along the coast near the southern state border, but is not much more than a few homes.
Rosarito is a coastal resort city in the Mexican state of Baja California located approximately 10 miles south of the U.S. border in Rosarito Beach Municipality. Often mistakenly called "Rosarito Beach" because of the wellknown Rosarito Beach Hotel, the town of Rosarito is one part of the municipality named Playas de Rosarito ("Beaches of Rosarito").
Its beaches and dance clubs are a popular destination for young people from the United States during the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Rosarito Beach is the seat of the municipality of Rosarito Beach. The city is the second largest in the Tijuana metropolitan area and southern beach city of the San Diego–Tijuana international metropolitan region.
Additionally, it is the westernmost municipal seat in Mexico, slightly further west than neighboring Tijuana, which lies inland to its north-northeast. As of 2010, the city had a population of 65,278.
Well I drove down south to heaven
If u know what I mean
If I had to do it over
I wouldnt change a thing
Oh lord take me down to mexico
Rosarito
Baha california
Goin to school and workin on the weekends
Ive finally saved enough to buy a car
Got some bros out there
Were going surfing
But u know that ill be chillin at the bar
Two shots of tequila
My skin is turnin read
Everything is just beautiful
It popped into my head
Life is good
Life is fun
But it isnt that way for everyone
Asked that kid for chiclets
10 Sombreros on his head
Selling blankets, knives, and jewelry
To keep a roof above his bed, lord
Take me down to Mexico, Rosarito, Baja California
Ohhhh lord, take me down to Mexico, Rosarito, Baja California
Things you said last night down by the fire side
Didnt seem to mean much the next day
A bottle rocket blew up
A bunch of people threw up
I looked at my man Eeno and this is what he said
They say life is good and they say life is fun
But it sure ain't that way for everyone
Well I crossed the border just to change my scene
Down here at the border where the money's like green
Tequila, beer, exstasy, and mescaline
One thing remains true, the water's still blue
You know what to do
Get some
Well I drove up north to heaven
And I've learn from what I've seen
If I had to do it over
