Postcards From Paraguay

Music & lyrics by Mark Knopfler 2004

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing was leading to the next

I bit off more than i could chew

I had the power to sign the cheques

It wasn’t difficult to do

I couldn’t stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won’t be sending postcards from Paraguay

 

I robbed a bank full of dinero

A great big mountain of dough

So it was goodbye compañero and cheerio

I couldn’t stay and face the music

so many reasons why

I won’t 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 couldn’t stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won’t be sending postcards from Paraguay
