Very easy song.
[D] [D] [D] [D]
This is a song about best friends
[D]John Roy was a [C]boy I knew
[G]Since he was three and I was [D]two
[G]Grew up two little [C]houses down from [D]me
[G]The only two bad apples [C]on our family tree
[G]Kind of ripened and rotted in our [C]puberty
[G]Two kindred spirits bound [C]by destin[D]y
[Em]Well now I was smart but I l[C]acked ambition
[G]Johnny was wild with no[D] inhibition
[G]Was about like mixin f[C]ire and gasol[D]ine
[D]And hed say
[G]Hey [C]Romeo
[G]Lets go down to M[D]exico
[G]Chase senoritas drink our[C]selves silly
Show them[G] Mexican girls a couple[D] real hillbillies
[G]Got a pocket full of cash and that [C]old Ford truck
[G]A fuzzy cat hangin from the [D]mirror fer luck
[G]Said dont you know all those l[C]ittle brown eyed g[D]irls
[D]Want playboys of the southw[G]estern world[C] [G] [D]
Long around our eighteenth year
We found two airplane tickets the hell outta here
Got scholarships to some small town school in Texas
We learned to drink Sangrias 'till the dawns early light
Eat eggs Rancheros and throw up all night
And tell those Daddys girls we were majoring in a rodeo
Ah, but my favorite memory of school that fall
Was the night John Roy came runnin down the hall
Wearin nothin but cowboy boots and a big sombrero
And he was yellin
(Repeat Chorus)
And I said we had a little change in plans
Like when Paul McCartney got busted in Japan
And I said we got waylaid
When we set foot on Mexican soil
You see the boarder guard with the Fu Manchu mustache
Kind of stumbled on Johns pocket full of American cash
He said
Doin a little funny business in Mexico, Amigo
But all I could think about was savin my own tail
When he mentioned ten years in a Mexican jail
So I pointed to John Roy and said
It's all his now please let me go
I mean it was your idea genius
I was just layin there in bed
When you said
(Repeat Chorus)
Ah, we're still best friends
Temporary cell mates
