Then Came the Last Days of May

[00:14.05]Parched land, no desert sand
[00:17.54]The sun is just a dot
[00:19.81]And a little bit of water goes a long way ’cause it’s hot it’s hot
[00:27.60]Three good buddies were laughin’ and smokin’
[00:29.95]In the back of a rented Ford
[00:33.71]They couldn’t know they weren’t going far
[00:47.03]Each one with the money in his pocket
[00:50.76]To go out and buy himself a brand new car
[00:56.75]But they all held the money they had
[01:00.22]Money they hoped would take them very far
[01:16.28]Sky’s bright, the traffic light
[01:19.38]Now and then a truck
[01:21.72]And they hadn’t seen a cop around all day what luck
[01:26.75]They brought everything they needed
[01:32.19]Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
[01:35.27]The driver said, “The border’s just over the bluff”
[01:54.65]Wasn’t until the car suddenly stopped
[01:59.44]In the middle of a cold and barren plain
[02:06.03]And the other guy turned and spilled
[02:09.41]Three boys blood did they know a trap had been laid?
[02:24.66]They’re OK the last days of May
[02:28.06]But I’ll be breathin’ dry air
[02:31.14]I’m leaving soon
[02:33.53]The others are already there all there
[02:38.13]Wouldn’t be interested in coming along
[02:41.56]Instead of staying here?
[02:45.38]ItÕs said the West is nice this time of year
[02:49.75]That’s what they say
