VERSE 1
On my way down to Mexico I stopped for a beer at a Texaco
Walked inside and showed the man my gun
He said son now just calm down I pulled back the hammer and I shot him down
I figured what the hell I´m livin´on the run
Countless days and endless nights truckstop coffee and motel lights
And the sound of the thunder so far away
The dessert sounds and the farmers fields, the tired sound of these four wheels
And one more time as I make my get away
And the sound of the thunder so far away
VERSE 2
Just this side of Mexico I pulled to the side and I slammed the door
And looked across the waters of the Rio Grande
Rolled up and smoke and I turned around pulled out a match and I threw it down
And headed on across the promised land
Countless days and endless nights truckstop coffee and motel lights
And the sound of the thunder so far away
The dessert sounds and the farmers fields, the tired sound of these four wheels
And one more time as I make my get away
And the sound of the thunder so far away
The sound of the thunder so far away
