We were standin' on a mountain top Where the cactus flowers grow I was wishin' that the world would stop When you said we'd better go
We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande Captain Pablo was our giude For two dollars in a weathered hand He rowed us to the other side
CHORUS: And we were dreamin' like the end was not in sight And we dreamed all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon
We stepped out onto the golden sand The sun was high and burning down Rented donkeys from an old blind man Saddled up and rode to town
Tied our donkeys to an ironwood tree By the street where the children play We walked in the first place we could see Servin' cold beer in the shade
CHORUS: We were drinkin' like the end was not in sight And we drank all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon
Met a cowboy who said that he Was running from the DEA He left a home, a wife, a family When he made his getaway
We followed him on down a street of dust To his one room run-down shack He blew a smoke ring and he smiled at us I ain't never goin' back
CHORUS: We were flyin' like the end was not in sight And we soared all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon
He said there's one last place that you should go He took us to the town's best bar He knew a crusty caballero Who played an old gut string guitar
And he sang like Marty Robbins could Played like no one I've known For a while we knew that life was good It was ours to take back home
CHORUS: We were singin' like the end was not in sight And we sang all afternoon We asked the world to wait so we could celebrate A gringo honeymoon
We were standin' on a mountain top Where the cactus flowers grow I was wishin' that the world would stop When you said we'd better go
