My baby and me went to Panama for Valentine's DayIt'd been a rough year and we decided it was time to get awaySandals, flip-flops, carry-ons, we were moving at the speed of lightA hammock and a virgin margarita would be just about rightWe landed and we hooked up with a cabbie named JavierHe didn't speak English but my baby got some savoir-faire'Cause she mucho bueno hablas espanol and you've never seen a prettier sightThan a five foot three Italian Irish Cape Cod girl speaking Spanish in Panama CityTo our nueve best amigo taxi driver on a Saturday nightNo cell phones, no laptops, one bedHotel Parador, forty-four dollarsAnd a Jimmy Buffet book that my Mom just readWe took a puddle jumper to an island called Bocas del ToroBut by now a lotta gringos have bought it all up from all the localsThe very best meal we had was from a lady at a chicken standShe was grilling and frying and minding her very own businessInternet cafe, that sucking screenHere we go, just a peek and the next thing you knowWe're right back up to maximum speedIt seems there was some kind of shooting back in the StatesDick Cheney went huntin' and his aim was not terribly greatLetras de cancionesIt kinda makes you wonder 'bout the kind of things'll happenWhen the you-know-what hits the fanWhen you find out that the finger on the trigger of the riflePointed anywhere he wants to in the whole entire worldIs the very same finger that he pulled when he hit his own manOne more night, let's really hit the townIt's Valentine's Day and I must sayI remember you in your wedding gownJohn Prine, he won a Grammy, and oh boy, it's about timeA voice of reason in a world that has gone awryBut we're flying back home where you can say what you want'Cause it's the good old U.S. of A.And that's what me and my baby didThat's what me and my baby didThat's what me and my baby did, on Valentine's Day From Letras Mania
