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
