G (x2)  Am (x2)  C (x2)  G (x2) 

          G                           
There was a man on the road 'bout an hour ago 
         Am 
and he was lookin for a ride to New Mexico 
          C                           G 
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 
C                         G 
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 
C                           G 
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 
C                                       G 
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 
           C                           G 
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  
                G                                  G G Am Am C C G G 
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...Chorus 
         G 
About an hour, about an hour ago 
         Am 
about an hour, about an hour ago 
         C 
about an hour, about an hour ago
