Lyrics

[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"
