Gringo |
|
-- Bill Payne |
|
Gringo, Southern California bound |
|
Gringo, take a stop and look around |
|
(come and lay your money down) |
|
Ain't no banana republic, gringo |
|
There's oil deep beneath the ground |
|
Two or three weeks in Mexico |
|
And you think you've seen it all |
|
Gringo, stars and stripes out in the cold |
|
Gringo, here's a hand you can take hold of |
|
(even though we're bought and sold) |
|
Drink Coca-Cola says the sign there |
|
America has made its mark |
|
(they said blood is thicker than water) |
|
Something tells me we really oughta |
|
Come out of the dark |
|
Night long saxophone in the barrio |
|
(the chicas will warm you) |
|
They can be persuasive gringo |
|
With stars in their eyes |
|
Spend a week in Acapulco |
|
No Esperanto needed there |
|
Lovers are like broken glass |
|
They're everywhere |
|
(the chicas will warm you) |
|
They can be persuasive gringo |
|
With stars in their eyes |
|
Gringo, think of this before you leave |
|
Gringo, the truth is easy to deceive |
|
(if truth you're ready to receive) |
|
Between the open road are your memories |
|
Tender hearted though they may be |
|
(they say blood is thicker than water) |
|
(they say all suffering comes to an end) |
|
(the common saying for friend is amigo) |
|
Gringo |
|
Red Cadillac at sunset slowing down |
|
For another look at that border town |
