There was a man on the road bout an hour ago and he was looking for a ride to New Mexico Well we was driving by
Way too fast to know

Well then we got to the place on a high speed chase There was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face And then she disappeared without a trace I say without a trace

Well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers And there's a man telling stories about his inner fears We was all choked up and too close to tears

Well then we moved on up to some margaritas And we started making faces at the senoritas Playing drinking games, but they were all too drunk to beat us

Well now, my car broke down about an hour ago We were heading on down to New Mexico, But, well we did not see the gas was low

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, I said the gas was low
the gas was low (Repeat 4x)
Hey, the gas was low. Hey.
Lalalalalalalala.

We got back to the party
We been on the road we're kinda dirty
I seen this girl I said you're might purty.

Well I said hello, bout an hour ago
We were heading on down to the big grass show, But hey, we did not see, the gas was low

[Chorus]

About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour... about an hour ago.
