Intro

Gringo

Southern California bound

Gringo

Take a stop and look around

 (come and lay your money down)

Ain't no banana republic, gringo

 There's oil deep beneath the ground

Two or three weeks in Mexico

And you think you've seen it all

Gringo

Stars and stripes out in the cold

Gringo

Here's a hand you can take hold of

 (even though we're bought and sold)

Drink Coca-Cola says the sign there

 America has made its mark

(they said blood is thicker than water)

Something tells me we really oughta

Come out of the dark

Instrumental break

Night long saxophone in the barrio

(the chicas will warm you)

They can be persuasive gringo

With stars in their eyes

Spend a week in Acapulco

No Esperanto needed there

Lovers are like broken glass

They're everywhere

(the chicas will warm you)

They can be persuasive gringo

With stars in their eyes

Gringo

Think of this before you leave

Gringo

The truth is easy to deceive

 (if truth you're ready to receive)

Between the open road are your memories

 Tender 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 down

 For another look at that border town
