Intro: Em D A G D
Verse:
A G D
He's been workin' for two years down the street at HEB
A G D
Just so he can pay his rent and take classes at ACC
G D
Now he ain't old but he's done more livin' than his twenty years might suggest
A G D
He's done some drinkin' in his lifetime but he ain't even legal yet
Chorus:
Em D
And it's a long way to Mexico
Em G
And there ain't nothing to do around here
Bm D
I guess close don't count for nothin'
A G D
But no one around here seems to care
Verse:
He's friends with the sheriff's daughter, you know ol' sheriff thinks he's alright
He'll even buy him beer and give him advice on his love life
But on a Monday night with nothing to do man a six pack sure sounds nice
But there ain't no way it's gonna happen today 'cause the timing just ain't right
Chorus
Verse:
He's just got a week left 'till he makes twenty one
Said he gave up drinkin' 'till then said the risk outweighs the fun
Well this I had to see with my own eyes to doubt no more
Don't you know the very next day I saw him passed out on the floor
Chorus
