Then Came The Last Days Of May Lyrics

Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot

And a little bit of water
goes a long way, 'cause it's hot

Three good buddies were laughing and
smoking in the back

Of a rented ford

They couldn't know they
weren't going far



Each one with the money in his pocket

Could go out and buy himself a brand new car

But they all had the
money they had

Money they hoped would take them very far



The
sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck

And they hadn't seen
a cop around all day

They brought everything they needed

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 lain?



They're
ok the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air

I'm leaving soon, the
others are already there

You wouldn't be interested in coming along,
instead of staying here

They say the west is nice this time of year
