Gringo In Belize Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Dennis Wolf 

 

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 

 

Chorus: 

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 Belize 

 

Chorus 

 

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 

 

Chorus 

 

He's just another gringo in Belize 

Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
