Long Way Jose

Long Way Jose
(Tim Hicks, Larry Haack)

There's a bird living in my beard
cnd if I let it grow down to here
I won't need no clothes
If the wind don't blow
I've been drinking this Cuervo gold
Like I own half of Mexico
cnd I don't think that I wanna ever leave

Chorus
We've come a long way Jose
Eighteen minutes, twenty-two hours, three hundred twenty-nine days
You taught me to shoot straight my faithful compadre
It's all been one hell of a ride
Just watching those palm trees sway
We've come a long way Jose

It all started when she took off her ring
Laughed at me ha! and gave it a fling right into the sand
Then went off with some man
I got a metal detector I'm ok
Seems a four carat diamond ring goes a long, long way
cnd I'm fine ‘cus I got a credit line

Chorus x2
We've come a long way Jose
