[Verse 1]
In Mérida heat, he stomps the dirt
Tin shack leanin', but he still won't hurt
C. 117 572, that cursed little block
He grunts at dawn when the cold winds knock
He keeps them bottles lined up neat
Yellow little soldiers at his feet
Talks to the moon with a busted snout
Says, "I'm still here, I'm still not out"
[Pre-Chorus]
Horse ran off and left him blue
Now every wall remembers you
He spits, then laughs at the night so mean
With a tin roof bent and a furious scene
[Chorus]
El Gunto, El Gunto
He don't bend, he don't fold
El Gunto, El Gunto
In that shack, he's gold
He lost that horse, but look at him now
Still standing there, snout up, proud
El Gunto, El Gunto
Say it loud
[Verse 2]
Blacked Scar comes by with a crooked grin
Throws a joke where the shame was thin
Laughs at the size of his body part
He calls it a crown, he calls it art
Says, "Go on, baby, take your shot
That's the biggest win I ever got"
If pain's a game, then he took the prize
With a red-hot stare and stubborn eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
He misses gator by the canal
Old green shadow, old loud pal
But even grief can't make him kneel
He wears his rage like a spinning wheel
[Chorus]
El Gunto, El Gunto
He don't bend, he don't fold
El Gunto, El Gunto
In that shack, he's gold
He lost that horse, but look at him now
Still standing there, snout up, proud
El Gunto, El Gunto
Say it loud
[Bridge]
He taps the tin when the rain comes down
He swears that horse still haunts this town
And gator's name stays on his tongue
Like a knife he keeps where the wounds stay young
But Blacked Scar's laugh, it lights his fire
He calls that sting a strange desire
"Come back, old friend, let's raise that glass"
Then he tilts his chin and lets it pass
[Final Chorus]
El Gunto, El Gunto
He don't bend, he don't fold
El Gunto, El Gunto
In that shack, he's gold
He lost that horse, but look at him now
Still standing there, snout up, proud
El Gunto, El Gunto
Say it loud
