Parched land, no desert sand Sun is just a dot And a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot (it's hot) Three good buddies were laughin' and smokin' In the back of a rented Ford They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one, with the money in his pocket Could go out and buy himself a brand new car But they all held the money they had Money they hoped would take them very far
Sky's bright, the traffic light Now and then a truck And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck) They brought everything they needed Bags and scales to weigh the stuff The driver said, "The border's just over the bluff"
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped In the middle of a cold and barren plain And the other guy turned and spilled Three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're OK the last days of May But I'll be breathin' dry air I'm leavin' soon The others are already there (all there) Wouldn't be interested in comin' along Instead of staying here? It's said the West is nice this time of year It's what they say

ReplyDeleteSun is just a dot
And a little bit of water goes a long way
'cause it's hot (it's hot)
Three good buddies were laughin' and smokin'
In the back of a rented Ford
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Each one, with the money in his pocket
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
But they all held the money they had
Money they hoped would take them very far
Sky's bright, the traffic light
Now and then a truck
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
They brought everything they needed
Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
The driver said, "The border's just over the bluff"
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
In the middle of a cold and barren plain
And the other guy turned and spilled
Three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
They're OK the last days of May
But I'll be breathin' dry air
I'm leavin' soon
The others are already there (all there)
