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 
the gas was low 
the gas was low 
Hey, the gas was low. Hey. 
Lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa 
 
We got back to the party 
We been on the road we're kinda dirty 
I seen this girl I said you're mighty 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.
