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
