Gringo Honeymoon

Intro We were standing on a mountain top Where the cactus flowers grow I was wishing that the world would stop When you said we'd better go We took a rowboat across the Rio Grande Captain Pablo was our guide For two dollars and a weathered hand He rowed us to the other side And we were dreamin like The end was not in site And we dreamed all afternoon We asked the world to wait So we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon We stepped out on to the golden sand The sun was high and burning down Rented donkeys from an old blind man Saddled up and rode to town Tied the donkeys to an iron wood tree On the street where children played We went in the first place we could see Servin cold beer in the shade And we were drinkin like The end was not in site And we drank all afternoon We asked the world to wait So we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon Met a cowboy who said that he Was running from the DEA He left his home and wife and family When he made his getaway We followed him on down a street of dust To his one room run down shack He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us I ain't never goin back And we were flyin like The end was not in site And we soared that afternoon We asked the world to wait So we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon He said there is one last place that you should go He took us to the towns best bar He know a crusty caballero Who played an old gut string guitar And he sang like Marty Robbins could Played like no one I have known For a while we knoew that life was good And it was ours to take back home And we were singin like The end was not in site And we sang all afternoon We asked the world to wait So we could 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'd better go
