I'm to drunk to dig this grave
I've been drinkin for 17 days
I'm livin the American dream
a dead body and a bottle of beam
the cops are hot on my trail
i don't have any money for bail
i got everything that i need
a dead body and a bottle of beam

I got 3 feet down i got 3 left to go
and I'm hell bound on the first train to Mexico

as the sun starts to rise
now I'm covered in flies
I've gotta get this dirt off of me
a dead body and a bottle of beam

i got 3 feet down i got 3 left to go
and I'm hell bound on the first train to Mexico

and I'm 3 feet down i got 3 left to go
and I'm hell bound on the first train to Mexico

as i cross the Mexico line
I'm here in the nick of time
I'll forever be free
a dead body and a bottle of beam
