upbeat: G

Am G F Esus4

parched land no desert sand the sun was just a dot

E Am G F

and a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot

Am C D

three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back

Dm

of a rented ford

Am G F

they couldn't know they weren't going far

Am D7 Am7 D7

Am D

each one with the money in his pocket

C D Am

could go out and buy himself a brand new car

C D

but they all held the money they had

F G Am

money they hoped would take them very far

Em Dm

Am G F Esus4

the sky was bright with traffic light now and then a truck

E Am G F

and they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)

Am C

they brought everything they needed

D Dm

the bags and scales to weigh the stuff

Am G F

the driver said the border's just over the bluff

Am D7 Am7 D7

Am D C

it wasn't until the car suddenly stopped

D Am

in the middle of a cold and barren plain

C D

and the other guy turned and spilled

F G Am

three boys' blood did they know a trap had been lain?

Em Dm

Am G F Esus4

they're ok the last days of may but i'll be needing dry air

E Am G F

i'm leaving soon the others are already there

Am C D Dm

wouldn't be interested in coming along instead of staying here?

Am G F

it's said the west is nice this time of year

that's what they say

Esus4
