This a song about best friends
GJohn Roy was boy I kneCw, since he was thGree and I was two D
GGrew up two little houses dowCn from me D
The onlGy two bad apples on our family tree,C kind of ripened and rotted in our puGberty D
TGwo kindred spirits bound Cby destiny D
WEmell I was smart but I lacked ambiCtion
GJohnny was wild with no inhibitionD
GWas about like mixing fire and gasolCine and he?d say D
GHey, RoCmeo lets gGo down to Mexico chase seDnoritas driGnk ourselves silly C
Show them Mexican giGrls a couple real hillbillies D
Got a pockGet full of cash and an old ford truck, C
GFuzzy can hanging from the mirror for luck D
Said donG?t you know all those little brown-eyeCd girls D
DWant playboys of the southwestern world G 2. C G D C G D
3. (see bottom)
GLong around our eighteenth yCear we found two airplane tiGckets the hell outta here D
Got schoGlarships to some small town schooCl in Texas D
We learned to drink sangGrias ?till the dawns early light C
Eat eggGs ranchero and throw up all night D
And tellG those daddys girls we were majorinC? in a rodeo D
Ah, but my favoriteEm memory of school that fall C
Was the night JGohn Roy came running down the hall D
Wearin? nothingG but cowboy boots and a big sombCrero and he was yellin? D
And I saidEm we had a little change in plCans like when Paul McCarGtney got busted in japan D
And I said Gwe got waylaid when we set foot on Mexican sCoil D
(Slow down)
You see the border guGard with a Fu Manchu mustache C
Kind of stumblGed on John?s pocket full of American cash D
He said doGing a little funny business in MexCico amigo D
EmBut all I could think about was saving my own tCail
When he mentionedG ten years in a Mexican jail D
So I poiGnted at John Roy and said it?s all his now plCease let me go D
I mean it was your idea genius I was just laying in bed when you said
3. PlayboysC of the southwesteGrn world D
Ah, we?re still besGt friends, temporarCy cellmates G D G
