Parched land no desert sand, the sun was just a dot

And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Am C D Dm
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back of a rented Ford
Am G F
They couldn't know they weren't going far
Solo: ( Am D7 ) x2

Each one with the money in his pocket, could go out and buy himself a brand new car

Am G F E
The sky was bright, with traffic light, now and then a truck
Am G F
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
Am C D Dm
They brought everything they needed, the bags and scales to weigh the stuff
Am G F
The driver said the border's just over the bluff
Solo: ( Am D7 ) x4
Am D C D Am
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped, in the middle of a cold and barren plain
C D F G Am
And the other guy, turned and spilled three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been lain?
Solo: Em7 Dm7
Am G F E
They're OK the last days of May, but I'll be breathing dry air
Am G F
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there

You 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
