About This Song


I wrote this one with Michael Farren. That's him singing the demo.

I love how you took almost every “spanglish” word americans know and threw it into one song.  Definitely a masterful lyric.  Enjoyed listening.  Great job!

Uncle Brent ...

I love well-written English songs with Spanish words. smile

So, have you gotten anyone to cut and/or release this song?

(Michael Farren, Brent Baxter)

I lose my gringo
With mi amigos
Buzzed like mosquitos in a bug zapper light
Don’t really need a
Cancun cantina
We got a beach here on my back porch tonight

A few senioritas
Takeout fajitas
I guess I’ve always been a sucker for spice
Watching my locals
Going half loco
Those Jose Cuervo shots are doing us right

CHORUS:
When the manana
Comes creepin’ up on us
We’ll take a long siesta happy and broke
Blew our last peso
On tequila and queso
Ain’t got no dinero
That’s where the green go
 
My blonde latina
Could not be sweeter
She's speaking Spanglish with a soft southern drawl
‘n my head’s a lotta
Like a pinata
Spinnin’ from all these kisses and alcohol
