Gringo In Belize — текст песни (Jerry Jeff Walker)

Dennis Wolf

Well he came down on vacation, `cause he liked the tropic sun
Margaritas and the music, made it all seem fun
He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas
He`s a happy little camper in Belize

He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high
His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry
His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees
And he`s just another gringo in Belize

Chorus:
He`s a planner, he`s a dreamer, he`s a sordid little schemer,
Seems to think that money grows on trees
He`s a whiner, he`s a loser, he`s a pothead, he`s a boozer,
He`s just another gringo in Belize

Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can`t afford
Since one of his investments got busted at the border
He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees
And he`s just another gringo in Belize

Oh, he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat
They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won`t float
The only thing`s that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze
And he`s just another gringo in Belize

Chorus

Now he`ll drink a beer for breakfast, he`ll chase it with rum punch
He`s smoking up his dinner, he`s a snorting up his lunch
He`s been wasted on the mainland, now he`s stoned out in the Cayes
And he`s just another gringo in Belize

Chorus

He`s just another gringo in Belize
Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
