letra de gringo honeymoon (live) - robert earl keen

[intro]
here we go, this “a gringo honeymoon”

[verse 1]
we were standin’ on a mountain top
where the cactus flowers grow
i was wishin’ that the world would stop
when you said, “we’d 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

[chorus]
and we were dreamin’ like
the end was not in sight
and we dreamed all afternoon
we asked the world to wait
so wе could celebrate
a gringo honеymoon

[verse 2]
we stepped out onto the golden sand
the sun was high and burnin’ down
rented donkeys from an old blind man
saddled up and rode to town
tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree
by the stream where children play
we went in the first place we could see
servin’ cold beer in the shade
[chorus]
and we were drinkin’ like
the end was not in sight
and we drank all afternoon
we asked the world to wait
so we could celebrate
a gringo honeymoon

[verse 3]
met a cowboy who said that he
was runnin’ from the dea
he left his home, his wife, and family
when he made his getaway
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 never goin’ back”

[chorus]
and we were flyin’ like
the end was not in sight
and we soared that afternoon
we asked the world to wait
so we could celebrate
a gringo honeymoon
[verse 4]
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 gut-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

[chorus]
and we were singin’ like
the end was not in sight
and we sang all afternoon
we asked the world to wait
so we could celebrate
a gringo honeymoon

[outro]
we were standin’ on a mountain top
where the cactus flowers grow
i was wishin’ that the world would stop
when you said, “we’d better go”
