Verse 1 This is a song about best friends - -
GJohn Roy was Ca boy I knew since Ghe was three and DI was two
GGrew up two little Chouses down from Dme
The Gonly bad apples on Cour family tree
Kinda Gripened and rottened in Dour puberty
GTwo kindred spirits, Cbound by desDtiny.
Well, now EmI was smart but I Dlacked ambition,
CJohnny was wild and Gno inhibition was Cabout like Gmixin' Amfire and
Amgasoline Dand he said,
Chorus
G"Hey, CRomeo, Glet's go down to DMexico
GChase senoritas, drink Courselves silly,
Show them GMexican girls a couple Dreal hillbillys.
Got a Gpocket full of cash and that Cold Ford truck,
GFuzzy cat hangin from the Dmirror hook.
Said Cdon't you Gknow all those Amlittle browneyed Dgirls
Want playboys of the southGwestern world."
La Cla la la la la Gla la la la la la Dla

Verse 2 GAlong around our C18th year,
Found Gtwo airplane tickets to the Dhell outta here.
Got Gscholarships to some Csmall town school in DTexas.
We learned to Gdrink Sangria's til the Cdawn's early light,
Eat GRanchero's and throw Dup all night,
And Gtell those daddy's Cgirls we were majorin' in the Drodeo.
Aw, but my Emfavorite memory in Dschool that fall
Was the Cnight John Roy came runnin' Gdown in the hall
Wearin noCthing but Gcowboy Amboots and a big sombDrero and he was yellin'
Chorus
Verse 3 And I Csaid we had a little Gchange in plans,
Like when CPaul McCartney got Gbusted in Japan.
And I Csaid we got Gwaylaid when we set Amfoot on Mexican Dsoil.
You see, the Gborderman guard with the fumanchu Cmustache
Kinda Gstumbled upon John's pocket of American Dcash.
He said "GDoin' a little funny Cbusiness in Mexcio, DAmigo?"
And Emall I could think about was savin' Dmy own tail
When he Cmentioned 10 years in a GMexican jail
So I Cpointed at GJohn Roy and Amsaid
"It's all Amhis...now please let me Dgo.
It was your idea, genius. I was just layin' there in bed when you said.."
Chorus
"GHey, CRomeo, Glet's go down to DMexico
GChase senoritas, drink Courselves silly,
Show them GMexican girls a couple Dreal hillbillys.
Got a Gpocket full of cash and that Cold Ford truck,
GFuzzy cat hangin from the Dmirror hook.
Said Cdon't you Gknow all those Amlittle browneyed Dgirls
Want playboys of the southG, well from the southwestern world.
Outro
GAh, we're still best friends...temporary cell mates.
