Little Feat - Gringo Lyrics
Bill PayneGringo, Southern California boundGringo, take a stop and look around(come and lay your money down)Ain't no banana republic, gringoThere's oil deep beneath the groundTwo or three weeks in MexicoAnd you think you've seen it all Gringo, stars and stripes out in the coldGringo, here's a hand you can take hold of(even though we're bought and sold)Drink Coca-Cola says the sign thereAmerica has made its mark(they said blood is thicker than water)Something tells me we really oughtaCome out of the dark Night long saxophone in the barrio(the chicas will warm you)They can be persuasive gringoWith stars in their eyes Spend a week in AcapulcoNo Esperanto needed thereLovers are like broken glassThey're everywhere (the chicas will warm you)They can be persuasive gringoWith stars in their eyes Gringo, think of this before you leaveGringo, the truth is easy to deceive(if truth you're ready to receive)Between the open road are your memoriesTender hearted though they may be(they say blood is thicker than water)(they say all suffering comes to an end)(the common saying for friend is amigo)Gringo Red Cadillac at sunset slowing downFor another look at that border town
