Gringo In Belize 歌詞

Gringo In Belize - Jerry Jeff Walker

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

 

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 Beliz

 

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

 

And He's just another gringo in Belize

 

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

 

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

 

 

Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
