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

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

Am               G                 F

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

that's what they say
