 Am              G               F              E4 
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                 E4 
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                        E4 
They're ok the last days of may but i'll be breathing 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
