Gringo Honeymoon

Intro 
G  D  G  D 

D                     Em 
We were standing on a mountain top 
G                       D 
Where the cactus flowers grow 
D                    Em 
I was wishing that the world would stop 
G                       D 
When you said we'd better go 

We took a rowboat across the Rio Grande 
Captain Pablo was our guide 
For two dollars and a weathered hand 
He rowed us to the other side 

A 
And we were dreamin like 
Bm 
The end was not in site 
G                          D 
And we dreamed all afternoon 
A 
We asked the world to wait 
Bm                     G (strum slowly) 
So we could celebrate 
G                      D  G  D 
A gringo honeymoon 

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

And we were singin 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 

We were standing on a mountain top 
Where the cactus flowers grow 
I was wishing that the world would stop 
When you said we'd better go
