[Verse 1]
DJoe didn’t own a gun
DHe didn’t bring a mask
He just wGalked into the bank
Killed the Ateller and took thA7e cash
DHe whistled as he walked
DRight out that front door
Climbed iGn that stolen pickup truck
And put the Apedal to the floor
[Chorus]
And he was Ggone (gone, gone)
Dvanished on the wind
Never cGaught (caught,caught)
They never Dfound a trace of Ahim
But Pedro kGnows
Where Joey Dran
He had a pretty good Emplan
ANow he’s a Mexican

[Verse 2]
Billy’s dDad had tons of money
But his bDelt left Billy scarred so
BGilly shot his old man twice
Took his cAash and his guitar
He Dnever once looked back
Though he Dmight have won the case
He chose GCuervo and Sangria
And the Asunshine on his face
[Chorus 2]
And he was Ggone (gone, gone)
Dvanished on the wind
Never Gcaught (caught, caught)
They never Dfound a trace of Ahim
But Pedro Gknows
Where Billy Dran
He had a pretty good Emplan
ANow he’s a MDexican

Now BGilly and old Joe
They palled arDound a lot
And they’d Grun their Yankee mouths
Over teqDuila shots
Ol' PEmedro tended bar
 Where they Dthrew their money around
 So one Gday he grabbed his shotgun
And he Aput them in the ground
[Chorus 3]
And he was Ggone (gone, gone)
vDanished on the wind
Never Gcaught (caught, caught)
They never fDound a trace of Ahim
But I Gknow
Where Pedro Dran
He had a perfect Emplan
Now he’s DAmerican

[Intro]

D D D D

[Verse 1]

Joe didn’t own a gun

He didn’t bring a mask

He just walked into the bank

A A7

Killed the teller and took the cash

He whistled as he walked

Right out that front door

Climbed in that stolen pickup truck

And put the pedal to the floor

[Chorus]

And he was gone (gone, gone)

vanished on the wind

Never caught (caught,caught)

D A

They never found a trace of him

But Pedro knows

Where Joey ran

He had a pretty good plan

Now he’s a Mexican

D D D D

[Verse 2]

Billy’s dad had tons of money

But his belt left Billy scarred so

Billy shot his old man twice

Took his cash and his guitar

He never once looked back

Though he might have won the case

He chose Cuervo and Sangria

And the sunshine on his face

[Chorus 2]

And he was gone (gone, gone)

vanished on the wind

Never caught (caught, caught)

D A

They never found a trace of him

But Pedro knows

Where Billy ran

He had a pretty good plan

A D

Now he’s a Mexican

D D D D

[Solo]

D D G A

[Bridge]

Now Billy and old Joe

They palled around a lot

And they’d run their Yankee mouths

Over tequila shots

Ol' Pedro tended bar

Where they threw their money around

So one day he grabbed his shotgun

And he put them in the ground

[Chorus 3]

And he was gone (gone, gone)

vanished on the wind

Never caught (caught, caught)

D A

They never found a trace of him

But I know

Where Pedro ran

He had a perfect plan

Now he’s American

[Outro]
