Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
I was huntin' for white-tail last year down in ol' Mexico
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
And I asked for the best huntin' guide and they gave me Pedro
Bb Eb C Bb Eb F
On that second mornin' I shot me a big trophy buck
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
As we carried him out, soon we were circled by trucks
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
And I didn't know it but this land belonged to the cartel
Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
They took all our money and threw me and Pedro in jail
Gm F
Now I'm gonna be guilty 'til proved innocent
Gm Bb F
No lawyer to call so we're already dead
Eb F Gm
But Pedro sat in the corner with a gleam in his eye
Eb F
Told me "We're gonna be alright"
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
Well the jailer he didn't know
Dm F
Pedro was hidin' that old .44
Bb Gm
Waitin' for him to walk by
Dm F
Soon as he did Pedro shot the guard twice
Eb F
Said "I'll get you to America and out of this hell"
Eb F Eb Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
'Cause this ain't my first time escapin' a Mexican jail
[Bridge]
Bb
Well we blew off the lock
Eb F Bb Eb F
Ran out back to an old pickup truck
Bb
It used to belong to the guard
F Bb Eb F
Now he won't need it much
Bb
We drove to the border
Bb Eb F
Under the cover of night
Bb Eb
Up a dirt road 50 miles
F Bb Eb F
And we cut off the lights
Eb F
And I could see customs just up there ahead
Gm F
And I reached over and I shook Pedro's hand
Eb F
He said "I'll disappear for a while
Gm
On that wide open range"
Eb F
What a true friend, maybe even a saint
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
Yeah the jailer he didn't know
Dm F
Pedro was hidin' that old .44
Bb Gm
Waitin' for him to walk by
Dm F
Soon as he did Pedro shot the guard twice
Eb F
Said "I'll get you to America and out of this hell"
Eb F Bb Eb F
'Cause this ain't my first time escapin' a Mexican jail

Bb Eb F Bb Eb F
Well I airdropped a brief case last week in ol' Mexico
Bb Eb F Bb
Full of 10,000 dollars and airfare to Texas for Pedro
