Gringo Honeymoon - Robert Earl Keen[00:00:01]
We were standin' on a mountain top[00:00:11]
Where the cactus flowers grow[00:00:16]
I was wishin' that the world would stop[00:00:21]
When you said we'd better go[00:00:26]
We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande[00:00:30]
Captain Pablo was our giude[00:00:36]
For two dollars in a weathered hand[00:00:40]
He rowed us to the other side[00:00:45]
CHORUS:[00:00:49]
We were dreamin' like the end was not in sight[00:00:50]
And we dreamed all afternoon[00:00:55]
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate[00:01:00]
A gringo honeymoon[00:01:07]
We stepped out onto the golden sand[00:01:19]
The sun was high and burning down[00:01:24]
Rented donkeys from an old blind man[00:01:29]
Saddled up and rode to town[00:01:34]
Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree[00:01:39]
By the street where the children play[00:01:44]
We walked in the first place we could see[00:01:49]
Servin' cold beer in the shade[00:01:54]
CHORUS:[00:01:57]
We were drinkin' like the end was not in sight[00:01:59]
And we drank all afternoon[00:02:04]
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate[00:02:08]
A gringo honeymoon[00:02:16]
Met a cowboy who said that he[00:02:28]
Was running from the DEA[00:02:32]
He left a home a wife a family[00:02:37]
When he made his getaway[00:02:42]
We followed him on down a street of dust[00:02:47]
To his one room run-down shack[00:02:52]
He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us[00:02:57]
I ain't never goin' back[00:03:02]
CHORUS:[00:03:06]
We were flyin' like the end was not in sight[00:03:07]
And we soared all afternoon[00:03:12]
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate[00:03:17]
A gringo honeymoon[00:03:24]
He said there's one last place that you should go[00:03:35]
He took us to the town's best bar[00:03:40]
He knew a crusty caballero[00:03:45]
Who played an old gut string guitar[00:03:50]
And he sang like Marty Robbins could[00:03:55]
Played like no one I've known[00:04:01]
For a while we knew that life was good[00:04:05]
It was ours to take back home[00:04:10]
CHORUS:[00:04:14]
We were singin' like the end was not in sight[00:04:15]
And we sang all afternoon[00:04:20]
We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate[00:04:25]
A gringo honeymoon[00:04:32]
We were standin' on a mountain top[00:04:44]
Where the cactus flowers grow[00:04:49]
I was wishin' that the world would stop[00:04:54]
When you said we better go[00:04:59]
