Gringo Honeymoon

歌詞

We were standing on a mountain top where the cactus flowers grow I was wishing that the world would stop when you said we better go We took a row boat across the Rio Grande captain Pablo was our guide For two dollars in a weathered hand he rowed us to the other side We were dreaming like the end was not in sight and we dreamed all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we can celebrate a gringo honeymoon We stepped out onto the golden sand the sun was high and burning down Rented donkeys from an old blind man saddled up and rode to town Tied our donkeys to an iron wood tree by the stream where children play We went in the first place we could see serving cold beer in the shade And we were drinking like the end was not in sight and we drank all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we can celebrate a gringo honeymoon Met a cowboy who said that he was running from the D.E.A. He left his home his wife and family when he made his get away We followed him on down a street at dusk to his one room run down shack He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us I ain't ever goin back We were flying like the end was not in sight and we sold out that afternoon We asked the world to wait so we can celebrate a gringo honeymoon He said there's one last place that you should go He took us to the town's best bar He knew a crusty caballero who played an old god string guitar and he sang like Marty Robbins could Played like no one I've known For a while we knew that life was good and it was ours to take back home And we were singing like the end was not in sight And we sang all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we can celebrate a gringo honeymoon We were standing on a mountain top where the cactus flowers grow I was wishing that the world would stop when you said we better go
