G
There was a man on the road 'bout an hour ago
Am
and he was lookin for a ride to New Mexico
CG
well he was drivin' by, way too fast to know.
G
Well then we got to the place on a high-speed chase
Am
there was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
CG
and then she disappeared, without a trace. I said without a trace.
G
Well now we're kickin' back and we're sippin' beers
Am
there's a man tellin' stories 'bout his inner fears
CG
we was all choked up and too close to tears
G
Well then we moved on up to some margaritas
Am
I started makin' faces at the senioritas
CG
playin' drinkin games, but they were all too drunk to beat us
G
well now my, car broke down 'bout an hour ago
Am
and we were, headed on down to New Mexixco
CG
and well we, we did not see, the gas was low
G
Hey hey, I said the gas was low, the gas was low
Am
the gas was low, the gas was low
C
the gas was low, the gas was low
GGGAmAmCCGG
hey the gas was low, hey hey, la la la la la la lala
G
We got back to the party
Am
we've been on the road, were kind of dirty
C
I seen this girl, I said youre mighty purdy
G
Well I, I said hello, about an hour ago
Am
we were, headed on down to the big grass show
C
well, we did not see, the gas was low...ChorusG
About an hour, about an hour ago
Am
about an hour, about an hour ago
C
about an hour, about an hour ago
