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
