This a song about best friends

John Roy was boy I knew, since he was three and I was two

Grew up two little houses down from me
G C G D
The only two bad apples on our family tree, kind of ripened and rotted in our puberty
G C D
Two kindred spirits bound by destiny
Em C
Well I was smart but I lacked ambition
G D
Johnny was wild with no inhibition
G C D
Was about like mixing fire and gasoline and he?d say
[Refrão]G C G D G C
Hey, Romeo lets go down to Mexico chase senoritas drink ourselves silly
G D
Show them Mexican girls a couple real hillbillies
G C
Got a pocket full of cash and an old ford truck,

Fuzzy can hanging from the mirror for luck

Said don?t you know all those little brown-eyed girls

G C G D
Long around our eighteenth year we found two airplane tickets the hell outta here
G C D
Got scholarships to some small town school in Texas
G C
We learned to drink sangrias ?till the dawns early light
G D
Eat eggs ranchero and throw up all night
G C D
And tell those daddys girls we were majorin? in a rodeo
Em C
Ah, but my favorite memory of school that fall
G D
Was the night John Roy came running down the hall
G C D
Wearin? nothing but cowboy boots and a big sombrero and he was yellin?
[Refrão] Em C G D
And I said we had a little change in plans like when Paul McCartney got busted in japan
G C D
And I said we got waylaid when we set foot on Mexican soil
(Slow down)
G C
You see the border guard with a Fu Manchu mustache
G D
Kind of stumbled on John?s pocket full of American cash
G C D
He said doing a little funny business in Mexico amigo
Em C
But all I could think about was saving my own tail
G D
When he mentioned ten years in a Mexican jail
G C D
So I pointed at John Roy and said it?s all his now please let me go
