Verse 1
GBeggin? your pardon there strFangCer
You look like you?re new to this tGown
We?re a long way away from the bFeach Chere
You won?t see many gringos arouGnd
Well I come from West ColoFradCo
And I?ve wandered this world far and wGide
I?ve lived for some years in the shFadCows
And my eyes are unused to this Glight
If you buy me a strong drink of whFisCkey
I will tell you the tale of my Glife
It?s long and it?s sad but it fits Fme C
And it may bring a tear to your Geye
Verse 2
All the men of my family were solidiers
The hard fightin? straight talkin? kind
When my turn came all that was over
But I?d already made up my mind
I was there when we blew though Grenada
And I still have to ask myself why
Then we took down that fool Noriega
That?s where I caught the good colonel?s eye
Well he asked me if I loved my country
And before I had time to reply
He regaled me with tales of past glories
I believed every one of his lies
Verse 3
So I left my old life behind me
Turned my back on my family and friends
And I did everything that they asked me
And I lost some sleep now and again
And I lived like a thief and assassin
I smuggled their poisons sometimes
Until I asked the wrong question in passin?
Verse 4
And the colonel himself dropped the dime
So if you?re ever in west Colorado
Tell the folks in Durango goodbye
There?s a price on my head and I can?t go
So I?ll just wait around here ?til I die
