《Gringo Honeymoon》歌词

[00:00:01] Gringo Honeymoon - Robert Earl Keen

[00:00:11] We were standin' on a mountain top

[00:00:16] Where the cactus flowers grow

[00:00:21] I was wishin' that the world would stop

[00:00:26] When you said we'd better go

[00:00:30] We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande

[00:00:36] Captain Pablo was our giude

[00:00:40] For two dollars in a weathered hand

[00:00:45] He rowed us to the other side

[00:00:49] CHORUS:

[00:00:50] We were dreamin' like the end was not in sight

[00:00:55] And we dreamed all afternoon

[00:01:00] We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate

[00:01:07] A gringo honeymoon

[00:01:19] We stepped out onto the golden sand

[00:01:24] The sun was high and burning down

[00:01:29] Rented donkeys from an old blind man

[00:01:34] Saddled up and rode to town

[00:01:39] Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree

[00:01:44] By the street where the children play

[00:01:49] We walked in the first place we could see

[00:01:54] Servin' cold beer in the shade

[00:01:57] CHORUS:

[00:01:59] We were drinkin' like the end was not in sight

[00:02:04] And we drank all afternoon

[00:02:08] We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate

[00:02:16] A gringo honeymoon

[00:02:28] Met a cowboy who said that he

[00:02:32] Was running from the DEA

[00:02:37] He left a home a wife a family

[00:02:42] When he made his getaway

[00:02:47] We followed him on down a street of dust

[00:02:52] To his one room run-down shack

[00:02:57] He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us

[00:03:02] I ain't never goin' back

[00:03:06] CHORUS:

[00:03:07] We were flyin' like the end was not in sight

[00:03:12] And we soared all afternoon

[00:03:17] We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate

[00:03:24] A gringo honeymoon

[00:03:35] He said there's one last place that you should go

[00:03:40] He took us to the town's best bar

[00:03:45] He knew a crusty caballero

[00:03:50] Who played an old gut string guitar

[00:03:55] And he sang like Marty Robbins could

[00:04:01] Played like no one I've known

[00:04:05] For a while we knew that life was good

[00:04:10] It was ours to take back home

[00:04:14] CHORUS:

[00:04:15] We were singin' like the end was not in sight

[00:04:20] And we sang all afternoon

[00:04:25] We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate

[00:04:32] A gringo honeymoon

[00:04:44] We were standin' on a mountain top

[00:04:49] Where the cactus flowers grow

[00:04:54] I was wishin' that the world would stop

[00:04:59] When you said we better go
