Grasshopper
400 miles down the Mexican coast
I'm two hundred dollars from being flat broke
Surf Seven Sisters all day long
Drinking mescal as the sun goes down
I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
Along come a senorita say your mind
Venga gringo where you gonna go?
You can stay with me just on down the road
Kissing her lips and rolling on the beach
Baby stay here work for family
Down the coast there's a landing strip
My brother's got a plane you could work for him
CHORUS:
Oh lord let me live for one more day
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
Oh lord if you get me out of this place
I'll never stray from the straight and narrow way
Oh lord if you give me one small sign
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
Fat grasshopper on a sweet potato vine
She saw me coming, saw me coming for miles
Gringo surfers from California
They fly them down to Putanegra
Got a baby girl and she looks like mom
Black curly hair and a devil's smile
Federales know what we take up north
Lord let me live 'til I'm old and grey
REPEAT CHORUS
For the rest of my life
