Story behind the song

I was just out looking for a good time

Lyrics

D
I was lost in the rain 
In the tropical zone 
I couldn't speak the tongue 
I was all alone 

I saw your face in the crowd 
Like Venus sprung from the foam 
You carried my bags 
Took me up to your home 

Chorus 
G
Oh baby oh baby 
                 A
Don't you know who I am 
       G
I'm ugly so ugly 
      A
But I'm a rich man 
   G            
I get what I want 
          A
I take all that I can 
       G
I'm white I'm male 
          A     D
I'm American 

D
I met your family 
Then you showed me your room 
You put me to bed 
I saw you smile in the gloom 

Then you whispered some words 
And then you stepped out the door 
You knelt in the hallway 
And you slept on the floor 

Chorus 
G  A
G  A 
G  A 
G  A  D

D
Set apart by my skin 
By my money and things 
In the land of the poor 
I'm like Midas the King 

I got to like it round here 
so I bought up the town 
Established plantations 
Cut the rain forest down 

Chorus

D
And your people respect me 
See them look at the ground 
And the children fall silent 
When I am around 

I still don't have you 
Everyone has their price 
Got my boot on your neck 
So you better be nice
