One thing was leading to the next
I bit off more than i could chew
I had the power to sign the cheques
It wasnât difficult to do
I couldnât stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I wonât be sending postcards
From paraguay [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/mark_knopfler/postcards_from_paraguay.html ]
I robbed a bank full of dinero
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
And cheerio
I couldnât stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I wonât be sending postcards
From paraguay
I never meant to be a cheater
But there was blood on the wall
I had to steal from peter
To pay what i owed to paul
I couldnât stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I wonât be sending postcards
From paraguay
