(Then Came The) Last of May - Live 1974

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 (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 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, that's what they sa
