Then Came the Last Days of May - Live

Lyrics
Parched land, no desert sand, sun is just a dot And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot Three good buddies were laughin' and smokin' 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, what luck 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 okay, the last days of May, but I'll be breathing dry air I'm leaving soon, the others are already there Wouldn't be interested in comin' along, instead of stayin' here It said the west is nice this time of year, it's what they say
