Lyrics
I met a cactus named Ricardo
At a truck stop near El Paso,
He was standing there suspicious
Like he knew about my past, though.
I said, "Sir, I beg your pardon,
I have clearly crossed a line."
He said nothing for a minute
Which I took as a bad sign.
So I apologized again,
Then I apologized for that.
Then a tumbleweed went by us
And the tension just went flat.
Sorry, Ricardo!
I don't know what I did!
But you've been looking disappointed
Since approximately six!
Sorry, Ricardo!
I'll try to make amends!
Worst Song Ever number twelve
And somehow we're still friends.
I brought him seven pebbles
As a gesture of respect.
He didn't seem impressed,
But that's exactly what I'd expect.
Then I whispered, "Is it Kevin?"
And the cactus didn't blink.
I don't know anybody Kevin.
I just panicked. I don't think.
Then the wind began to whistle,
Like the desert knew the score.
Ricardo leaned two inches left
I apologized some more.
Sorry, Ricardo!
For whatever I have done!
Was it Tuesday? Was it Kevin?
Was I blocking out the sun?
Sorry, Ricardo!
I'll carry this regret!
You have never said a word to me
But I'm not over it yet!
Ricardo
Can forgiveness cross the sand?
Can a man rebuild a friendship
That he doesn't understand?
Then suddenly a stranger yelled,
"Buddy, that's not Ricardo."
Oh.
His name was Steve.
I owe Steve an apology.
Sorry, Steve-O!
This got terribly confused!
I spent three days begging pardon
From a plant I'd never wronged or used!
Sorry, Steve-O!
I've learned one thing today:
If a cactus won't forgive you
Maybe just walk away.
Sorry, Ricardo.
I mean Steve.
Kevin?
