2014, Roger [A] Crager, a staple of the Texas countryside of our music scene,
released a seven-song album called Roadshow.
Track number two on that one was Where the Gringos Don't Go.
Here's Roger's story and live performance of [Em] that tune.
[A]
We're going to [D] do one called Where the [A] Gringos Don't Go.
[D] It's a romantic getaway, [A] you know, about taking the woman you love down [E] to Mexico and having
some, you know, [A] it says, [E] I think it's the sexiest [A] line, first line of any song I've ever written.
It says, Lately I've been feeling like kissing sweet tequila right off [D] your lips.
That kind of [E] sets the tone for it.
And then [A] it's, you know, it's this sexy cotton dress dancing to mariachi music.
For anybody that's ever [Bb] snuck away [Ab] for the weekend [G] down to, you know, [D] somewhere in Mexico,
[A] [Am] for me it's a [E] theme song.
I love [A] to do that.
I'd love to do that every week.
It's not [Em] only a [E] romantic song, but [A] musically speaking, it's also [E] kind of [A] a groovy thing
with a nice beat to it that, it's the kind of song that, you know, I think you might
want to slow dance [G] to.
[C]
[F]
[C] Lately I've been feeling like kissing [Am] sweet [G] tequila [F] right off your lips.
[C] Dance to mariachi singing, your cotton dress softly [F] clinging to your hips.
We could [Am] just drop off the grid, [G] get lost and find [F] ourselves again.
[C] So baby let me take you down to Mexico, there's a bit of heaven I want to show you.
[F] Got a little honey in the money sack, you don't need to pack.
[G] Baby we could [C] do a little even locals do.
Tuck away out of here, just [F] me and you.
[Am]
[G] Yeah, [F] yeah, Lord.
Where the gringos [C] don't go.
There's an old adobe town.
No resorts, no one around to [D] space and [F] blaze.
[C] I know just enough espanol to get us into some [G] trouble.
[F] Oh, but what the heck.
[Am] We could dance the [D] night away, [G]
soak up the sun or stay in [F] bed all day.
Baby what do you say?
[C] Baby let me take you down to Mexico, there's a bit of heaven I want to show you.
[F] Got a little honey in the money sack, you don't need to pack.
Baby we [C] could do a little even like the locals do.
Tuck away out of here, [F] just me and you.
[Am] Yeah, [G] yeah, [F] Lord.
[Fm]
Where the gringos [Am] don't go.
[G]
[F]
We [Am] gotta get back to the basics of [Em] you and I.
This [F] place is like stepping [C] back [F] in time.
So [D] baby [C] let me take you down to Mexico, [F] there's a piece of [D] heaven I [F] want to show you.
Baby we [C] could do a little even like the locals do.
Tuck away out of here, just [F] me and you.
[Am] Yeah, [G] yeah, Lord.

gringos [C] don't go.
