Then Came The Last Days Of May (Live)

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 Three good buddies were laughin' and smoking In the back of a rented Ford They couldn't know they weren't going far And each one with the money in his pocket Could go out and buy himself a brand-new car But they all held the money they had Money they hoped would take them very far The sky was bright, the traffic light, now and then a truck And they hadn't seen a cop around all day, what luck They brought everything they needed The bags and scales to weigh the stuff The driver said the border's just over the bluff It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped In the middle of a cold and barren place And the other guy turned and spilled Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been laid? They're okay the last days of May, I'll be breathin' dry air I'm leaving soon, the others are already there You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here? They said that the West is nice this time of year, that's what they say
