Gringo In Belize

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

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

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

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

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

He's just another gringo in Belize

Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
