Playboys Of The Southwestern World

Playboys of the Southwestern World (Hey Romeo) INTRO                This is a song about best friends - - John Roy was a boy I knew since he was three and I was two Grew up two little houses down from me The only bad apples on our family tree Kinda ripened and rottened in our puberty Two kindred spirits bound by destiny. Well now I was smart but I lacked ambition Johnny was wild and no inhibition was about like mixin’ fire and gasoline and he said *CHORUS* "Hey Romeo let’s go down to Mexico Chase senoritas drink ourselves silly Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillys. Got a pocket full of cash and that old Ford truck Fuzzy cat hangin from the mirror hook. Said don’t you know all those little browneyed girls Want playboys of the southwestern world." La la la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la Along around our 18th year Found two airplane tickets to the hell outta here. Got scholarships to some small town school in Texas. We learned to drink Sangria’s til the dawn’s early light Eat Eggs Rancheros and throw up all night And tell those daddy’s girls we were majorin’ in the rodeo. Aw but my favorite memory in school that fall Was the night John Roy came runnin’ down in the hall Wearin nothing but cowboy boots and a big sombrero and he was yellin’ *CHORUS* "Hey Romeo let’s go down to Mexico Chase senoritas drink ourselves silly Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillys. Got a pocket full of cash and that old Ford truck Fuzzy cat hangin from the mirror hook. Said don’t you know all those little browneyed girls Want playboys of the southwestern world." La la la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la And I said we had a little change in plans Like when Paul McCartney got busted in Japan. And I said we got waylaid when we set foot on Mexican soil. You see the borderman guard with the fumanchu mustache Kinda stumbled upon John’s pocket of American cash. He said "Doin’ a little funny business in Mexcio Amigo?" And all I could think about was savin’ my own tail When he mentioned 10 years in a Mexican jail So I pointed at John Roy and said "It’s all his...now please let me go.    ---              It was your idea genius. I was just layin’ there in bed when you said.." (third chorus all one strum until ’got a pocket full of cash’) "Hey Romeo let’s go down to Mexico Chase senoritas drink ourselves silly Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillys. Got a pocket full of cash and that old Ford truck Fuzzy cat hangin from the mirror hook. Said don’t you know all those little brown eyed girls Want playboys of the south           well from the southwestern world. Ah we’re still best friends...temporary cell mates.
