Gringo

Well, I've been here thinking
And skirting all the reasons
And just juggling lies in my head
With what's behind me easier than what's ahead

I just can't quite figure
How I ended up way out here
With this unstrung guitar
A busted boat, and a shut down bar

It all felt so right
Forsake the old for island life
Con mi bonita novia
My sweet little Señorita

We'd simplify and multiply
Sip spiced rum
And Mai Tai's
As I worked my bar with mis amigos

It all seemed so easy
And well yeah
Looking back, a little sleazy
But they'd have a tale to tell

We'd fleece those damn gringos
Me, mi Señorita y mis amigos
We'd leave them with bloated egos
Y con un poco menos de dinero

Sitting here with sand in my shorts
And my life all bent out of sorts
No pesos, no senorita, no amigos
I'm starting to think I was the gringo

Oh yeah

Oh yeah, we'd fleece those damn gringos
Me, mi Señorita y mis amigos
We'd leave them with bloated egos
And just a little less dinero

Sitting here scratching my backside
Not knowing how I'm gonna get stateside
No pesos, no Señorita, no amigos
I'll be damned if I ain't the gringo
