The Refreshments can refer to two different bands
Well I think I saw you in a dream
You were dancin' by the slot machine
With a complementary whiskey in your hand
And when you asked what kind of streak I was on
Somehow it just got better
So we might as well pull our asses out of dodge
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town
So I think I saw you in a dream
Or was I just sucking down toluene
With a complementary vodka in my hand
When you asked what kind of trip are you on
And I blurted out somethin' stupid
When you grabbed my hand to drag me off to bed
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town, yeah
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well, I fed your dog while you were on vacation
Covered all your shifts for you operation
But when you got back
You still wouldn't show me your brand new silicone boobs
So I took a walk around my neighborhood
To get you off of my mind like I knew that I ought to
But when I saw a big black van
Run down a bird I had to think about you
But no I'm not a quarterback, I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
'Cause I'm a healthy
Hundred and fifty nine pound American boy
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record
And you tell a story like a broken record
And I tell a story like a broken record
But still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you, like anyway
So you took another guy on that Caribbean cruise
While I stayed home and cried into my bottle of pills
But when you got back
You didn't even have yourself a tan 'cause you stayed in your room
So I fed your dog while you were out of town
And I mowed your lawn when he wasn't around
But when you got back
You had the nerve to ask me if I had gone through some your clothes
Yeah I'm right
No I'm not a quarterback, I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
'Cause I'm a healthy
Hundred and fifty nine pound American boy, yeah yeah
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record
And you tell a story like a broken record

No, no, no, no, no, no, my, my
I´ve heard you can´t hurry love
and so I´ve been patient for so long
But now months have turned into years
And laughter´s turned into tears
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
I have searched each corner of this land
And everywhere I see lovers hand in hand
In my lonely world that brings me down
´Cause I still haven´t found me someone
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
Sometimes I feel like hell
I just wanna lay me down and die
But then like from above
I see a ray of light again
Oh, tell me when will my love grow
Oh, won´t the winds of love soon blow
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?

Road hard, and I put up wet, I ain't down but I can't get up yet
It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Sun down across the plain, I've bee sore before I'll be sore again
No place to hide to keep from runnin'
Laid down in the cotton wood hollow, I left a trail no man could follow
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning
Cracked throat and my canteen's dry and
Rain don't fall from an empty sky
So I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground
Road hard, come down tired, strip from the saddle when the rifle fired
Deep in dreams of women and clean water
Well I did before what I'll do again
So forgive me father if I have sinned
But the old wood cracks before it bends
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around

Yeah the candle's burnin' down, now midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground, yea

Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That's okay, I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man, he'll say, he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation
'Cause I wonder where I'll be in a year
I probably be sittin' right here
But if you know the answer, don't tell me anyone
'Cause I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Well, we've been sayin'
"We're gonna go somewhere for a long long time"
But it never happens
Why is it never happened?
Ya, we've been prayin'
"We're gonna get somewhere for a long long time"
But it never happens
Why is it never happened?
And I wonder where I'll be in a year
I probably be sittin' right here
But if you know the answer, don't tell me anyone
'Cause I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Oo, I don't wanna know
We could write our names here in the mud
No one's around to see them
We could hang our shoes here in a tree
No one's around to steal them
I could give you a star, you could give me one too
And that way we'd be even
And I could sing this song way out of tune
And not care a bit about it
We could both wear cowboy hats
And pretend that we could speak Italian
I could eat some gum
And make my breath so minty fresh to kiss you
Your breath will smell like wine
I like that a lot especially when I kiss you
And I could hit my funny bone real hard
And you could call me sweetheart
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about individuals
But he's dead anyways
Lets go down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Yeah, lets go
We could all wear riped up clothes
And pretend that we're dead hot workshop
I could drive a long long way
And not even have the gas to make it back
We could chase our shadows around the lawn
'Til we're both exhausted
And I could forget the words just one more time
And hope that no one notices
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about me, yeah
Well what's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
Well cars break down and people break down
And other things break down too
So lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Yeah, lets go
Alright, alright
We could find a smug of dust
I was feeling no pain around midnight
As I found her sittin´ lookin´ out a sight
With no intentions what so ever in mind
I just asked for a dance and we left the world behind
While one half of me said "Don´t you bother"
Well the other cried "Don´t miss a chance like this"
Then one thing just led to another
One dance One rose One kiss
One dance One rose One kiss
Friends said stay away or she´ll break your heart in
In one ear and out the other their words flew
And for once some old luck was on my side
As I bought a rose and her heart was open wide
While one half of me said "Don´t you bother"
Well the other cried "Don´t miss a chance like this"
Then one thing just led to another
One dance One rose One kiss
One dance One rose One kiss
There were three steps to heaven for me
Just like Eddie sang that it would be
There and then I took my chances wrong or right
As I stole a kiss as we walked into the night
Still one half of me said "Don´t you bother"
While the other cried "Don´t miss a chance like this"
Then one thing just led to another
One dance One rose One kiss
One dance One rose One kiss
One thing just led to another
One dance One rose One kiss
No more negotiations dear
I'm runnin' out of patience here
Whisper congratulations in my ear
Well it clear, that we got nothin' much left to say
Monuments and maps
The sky-lines and the tourist traps
Would all do well if they collapsed
And sent you runnin' back here to me
Well who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down
And other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Could you be more specific dear
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be to scientific, but make it clear and never fear
I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay, hey
Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down
And other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you, yeah

And don't give a damn to help me feel okay
And all the breath will be here for me
And that won't be very nice so baby will you help me
Through the day, yeah yeah
Yeah well who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down
And other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Cars break down and people break down

You used to write my name on the back of your notebook
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars
But lately it would appear that you found yourself
A black magic marker just to make absolutely sure
That no one ever thought that you'd take it that far
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well here we go again now, here we go again now
You used to write me those funny little letters
In a language ours and ours alone
I gave my 'Catcher in the Rye' for your 'Cat's Cradle'
And I gave my 'White' for your 'Abby Road'
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well, here we go again now, here we go again now

Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that lady was the preacher's daughter
Yeah, how her arms?ll hold me

When we kissed she never told me
I?ll be the lamb for a slaughter
?Cause she's my preacher's daughter
Got loose from my incarceration
I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation
"Welcome home", she said, "You're lookin' good too
Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you"
Yeah, how her arms?ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I?ll be the lamb for a slaughter
?Cause she's my preacher's daughter, yeah
So I said my congratulations
Before I lost myself to my infatuation
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don't like it, now I'm back on the run again
How her arms?ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I?ll be the lamb for a slaughter
Like the desert needs the water
Give me back my preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
So just how far down do you want to go
And we can talk it out over a cup of Joe
And you can look deep into my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Well it's just you and me baby
No one else we can trust
We'll say nothin' to no one
No how or we'll bust
Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody

Yeah, everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistol so I get the pesos

We'll slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far

That there's been a hold-up
So give you I'd card to the border guard

Well it doesn't matter
There ain't no facts involved
Take it further
It doesn't matter
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told me there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
Well you should have known better
Dead thoughts and lost horizons
And to take it further
It don't get any better
Well out here on the border
Ain't nobody asking questions
No I don't need a miracle
But I could use a push in the right direction
A handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a '69 Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise, Idaho 95
So when they crossed the state line
They were just in time to fall
Asleep at the wheel
Last back doesn't matter
Never was no facts involved
And to take it further
It never really matters
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told that there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
A handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a '69 Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise, Idaho 95
So I was just in time to miss
The 5 o'clock news
Velvet black Interstate is something that appeals me
5.99 and a stone cold meal, and another bottle of wine
I was feelin' just fine
And when I crossed the state line
I was just in time
To fall, asleep at the wheel
A handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a '69 Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise, Idaho 95
So I was just in time to miss
The 5 o'clock news
Velvet black Interstate is something that appeals me
5.99 and a stone cold meal, and another bottle of wine
I was feelin' just fine
And when I crossed the state line

To fall
Handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a '69 Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise, Idaho 95
So I was just in time to miss
The 5 o'clock news
Velvet black Interstate is something that appeals me
5.99 and a stone cold meal, and another bottle of wine
I was feelin' just fine
And when I crossed the state line
I was just in time
Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way you hold your breath
That's scarring me to death
Well that's your way, anyway, anyway
But everybody talks
We gotta listen to what they say
Well there's a picture that I'm painting
And you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
I don't mean to pry but it's been said
"You got demons in your head"
I ask real casual
But it's the way I wear my frown
That only helps to bring you down
Well that's my way, anyway, anyway
And everybody talks
We gotta make it make some sense
Well there's a picture that I'm painting
And you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing, yeah hey
Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way I hold my breath
That's scarring you to death
Well that's our way, anyway, anyway, anyway
Well everybody talks
But people rarely say a word
Well there's a picture that I'm painting
And you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Barkeep, another Mekong please
Yes of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I forgot your name
Flip a coin, what shall we talk about?
Heads, I tell the truth, and tails, I lie
Well I came all the way, from Taipei today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain as I'm going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles
But is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Barkeep, we need to go around again
One for me and what's his name, my new best friend
So deal me in and I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see a lucky coin and raise a pack of lies
Well, smile to the girl at the door, another 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes, she'll break your heart
We came all the way from Taipei today
Still Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're going blind again
And I haven't seen my girl for fifteen thousand miles
But is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Well is it true, it's always happy hour here?
And if it is, I'd like to stay a while
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
Well as cliche as it may sound, I'd like to raise another round
And if your bottle's empty, help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time and here's to life
Here's to life, here's to life
Don´t bring up the past it cuts like a knife
The days that we had was the time of my life
But i never let it show and you don´t really wanna know
So don´t ask no questions and i´ll tell no lies
About how i´ve been and why those tired eyes
Can no longer hide the secrets in my mind
Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of
runnin´
Feelin´s still grow
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
It´s sad but it´ s all ´bout a man in pain
And a love in vain
Sometimes you´re gone for months or a year
But then again from outa nowhere
Maybe in the still of the night
Next time at a traffic light
Yeah i never know when the hurt is gonna come
I only know it´s just a matter of time
Before memories are comin´ ´ round
And i´m back on shaky ground
Solo
Now the sky ain´t that blue and the sun don´t shine so
bright
Since your leavin´ has changed my livin´
Nowadays my old face ain´t no pleasent sight
I´ve been to places done all kinds of things
To whip out the traces and to break the strings
But all through the years i´ve lied
And i´m still cryin´ inside
Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of
runnin´
Feelin´s still grow
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
It´s sad but it´s all ´bout a man in pain
If I hold you my love in the still of the night
If I whisper your name in the pale moonlight
If I give you all that i own
And never again leave you alone
chorus
Will you forgive all the wrong i've done
Will you say that it's all in the past
What will it take
Will it make our love last
vers2
If i always be there to light your way
If I never ever again forget our weddin' day
Will you take me to your heart
Can we make a brand new start
chorus
Will you forgive all the wrong i've done
Will you say that it's all in the past
What will it take
Will it make our love last
bridge
I won't do wrong anymore
I ain't gonna be the one I was before
I will change my ways so dry youre tears
I will make it up to you for all those years
vers3
So of I hold you my love in the still of the night
And I kiss you underneath the stars shinin' bright
Will that prove my love is true
Will you consider startin' a new
chorus
Will you forgive all the wrong i've done
Will you say that it's all in the past
What will it take
Will it make our love last
My dear
Will you try to forgive all the wrong I've done
Will you say that its all in the past
Will it make our love last
I´ve heard you can´t hurry love
and so I´ve been patient for so long
But now months have turned into years
And laughter´s turned into tears
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
I have searched each corner of this land
And everywhere I see lovers hand in hand
In my lonely world that brings me down
´Cause I still haven´t found me someone
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
Sometimes I feel like hell
I just wanna lay me down and die
But then like from above
I see a ray of light again
Oh, tell me when will my love grow
Oh, won´t the winds of love soon blow
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
Where is love? Where has it gone?
Is it playin´ tricks on me?
Where is love? What have I done?
Now, say how can it be?
I see the lightning from the storm down in Mexico
And I see my speedometer doesn't work
I cross the desert and disappear into the tumbleweeds
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
I hear the thunder from the storm down in Mexico
And I leave the border far behind
I feel the dust coat my teeth and turn my sweat to mud
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I've been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
To come alive
Well, I feel the wind blow from the storm down in Mexico
Gasoline for another hundred miles
I cross the river and leave my shoes up on the other side
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
Been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black, sun-cracked soul of mine
To come alive
Come alive, yeah
Well, I feel the rain drops from the storm down in Mexico
Truck will go no further, out of gas
I walk through the desert past the lizard and a rattlesnake
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There ain't no moral to this story at all
And anything I tell you very well could be a lie
There ain't no morals to these stories at all
And everything I tell you, you can bet will be a lie
I been away from the living, I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black, sun-cracked
Numb-inside, soul of mine
To come alive
Come alive
Come alive
Rain is pattin´ on my window
and I´m all alone
There ain´t no place that I could go
Noone to phone
Now I´m just a shadow of the man
That I used to be
There´s a cloud over my head
That is followin´ me
This been goin´ on so long
You hope that someone will come along
You´ll be half a man´till your better half´s been found
I-I-I´m half a man now that She´s not around
I-I-I´m half a man now that She´s not around
Used to say that I was strong
I´d make it on my own
But now adays in my voice
there´s a change of tone
You see to me
She was She with a capital S
And all she left when she left
Was this emptyness
This been goin´ on so long
You hope that someone will come along
You´ll be half a man´till your better half´s been found
I-I-I´m half a man now that She´s not around
I-I-I´m half a man now that She´s not around
solo
Just like a lock needs a key
A clock needs the time
A ship needs a sea
A song needs a rhyme
This I know, I've got a lot to learn
But could you spare me a match I've got a bridge to burn
And if you could, there might be a little somethin' in it for you
And I won't mind if you lag behind
I'd like your company with my axe to grind we'll take LSD
And talk about conspiracy too
We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
So you say I've got a lot to learn
Well that's fine with me, still got that bridge to burn
And if you come along there's a little something in it for you
And I hope you don't mind if I lag behind you
You'd like my company with your axe to grind
We'll eat MSG and talk about Chinese food
We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
Yeah, buy American, buy American, buy American
Buy, buy, buy

Well I think I saw you in a dream
You were dancin' by the slot machine
With a complementary whiskey in your hand
And when you asked what kind of streak I was on
Somehow it just got better
So we might as well pull our asses out of dodge
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town
So I think I saw you in a dream
Or was I just sucking down toluene
With a complementary vodka in my hand
When you asked what kind of trip are you on
And I blurted out somethin' stupid
When you grabbed my hand to drag me off to bed
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town, yeah
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town
I guess I could have run away
When I saw that look in her eyes
But she brought me to my knees
Before I had time to realize
But I wished I'd never turned
To see her smile at me
But she lured me to her lair
With all the things she promised me
Well if I could
You know I would run away
Right now
I can't sleep 'cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat cause she can't cook
I can't write 'cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took, yeah
She threw a leash around my neck
And started spending all my money
I ate her cooking night and day
Even though I thought it tasted funny
She's kept me locked inside her house
Days and nights and holidays
No escape was to be found
I tried a thousand billion ways
Well if I could
You know I would run away
Right now
I can't sleep 'cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat 'cause she can't cook
I can't write 'cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
So I wish I would have run away
When I saw that look in her eyes

She can't count all the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
I woke up this morning with a bump on my head
An empty corral and a stone cold bed
Well all of my livestock was nowhere in sight
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She cut me off at the roots when she took my best boots
I'm hung-over and barefoot and long
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
Too much time on the range and too much time the bar
She warned me and warned me but I took it to far
The whiskey was wrong and the woman
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
So just how far down do you want to go
And we can talk it out over a cup of Joe
And you can look deep into my eyes
Like I was a super-model

Here comes another song about Mexico
Well I just can't help myself, I lost my old lady
Got my lures, got my bobbers
Now I'm gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
(Had to lie, had to lie)
Well the good guys and the bad guys
Well they never work past noon around here
They sit side by side in the cantinas
Talk to senoritas and drink warm beer
And here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves, we lost our old ladies
Got our lures, got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost our erections
So we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
(Had to lie, in the letter to the boys back home)
Well the good guys and the bad guys
Well they never work past noon around here
They sit side by side in the cantinas
Talk to senoritas and drink warm beer
Now the good guys and the bad guys
Well they never work past noon around here
They sit side by side in the cantinas
Talk to senoritas and drink warm beer
Now the good guys and the bad guys
Well they never work past noon around here
They sit side by side in the cantinas
