Hey Gringo

(album: Surface Sounds - 2021)

I've been told that she's good as gold
Yeah and she'll leave you wanting more
Laying low but I could see the smoke
Yeah and I knew it wouldn't be long
I could stay or I could stay awake
Long enough to die another day
I could try to get it right
Whatever's gonna keep you alive
Keep you alive

Saying, "Who is smoking cigarettes?
Who is smoking something else?
Who is smoking cigarettes?
Who is smoking something else?"

Let it go
Oh, just take it slow
Don't you go looking for trouble now
I don't know why I can't let go
That woman's got me rear naked choked
The man said, "No! Hey Gringo
Whoa, you better stay outta Mexico"
And I said, "Whoa, hey, tranquilo, amigo
I didn't know she was spoken for
Now I'm a lover, not a fighter
It's all bueno"

Saying, "Who is smoking cigarettes?
Who is smoking something else?
Who is smoking cigarettes?
Who is smoking something else?"

Is it you, is it you, is it you?
Whew, you better tell the truth
Is it you, is it you, is it you?

Light it up, light it up
(Oh light it up now)
Light it up, light it up
Light it up, light it up

I sold my soul for the sex, drugs, and rock and roll
Said I sold my soul to a woman in Mexico
A woman in Mexico
Woah, woah, yeah-yeah, yeah, come on
You know I go, whew

"Who is smoking cigarettes? (Smoking cigarettes)
Who is smoking something else? (Smoking something else)
Who is smoking cigarettes?
Who is smoking something else?"

Is it you, is it you, is it you?
Whew, yeah, yeah (Is it you, is it you, is it you?)
Tell the truth
Tell the truth
Whew, whew
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Whew-oo-ooh
