Then Came the Last Days of May [On Your Feet or On Your Knees]

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Donald Roeser] Parched land, no desert sand, the 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 To go out and buy himself a brand new car But they all held the money they had Money they hoped would take them very far [Verse 2: Donald Roeser] Sky's bright, the 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 plain And the other guy turned and spilled Three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been laid? [Verse 3: Donald Roeser] They're OK, the last days of May But I'll be breathin' dry air, I'm leaving soon The others are already there (all there...) Wouldn't be interested in coming along Instead of staying here? It's said the West is nice this time of year That's what they say
