	    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
