Intro: Gsus4 G

G                       Am
We were standing on a mountain top

Where the cactus flowers grow
G                       Am
I was wishing that the world would stop

When you said we'd better go
G                              Am
We took a rowboat across the Rio Grande
C                       G
Captain Pablo was our guide
G                          F
For two dollars and a weathered hand
C                         G

A gringo honeymoon


We stepped out on to the golden sand
The sun was high and burning down
Rented donkeys from and 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 on 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 knew a rusty 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 knew that life was good
And it was ours to take back home

And we were singing 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
