Lyrics

Down the road a ways I've heard say A new day's coming on Where the women folks are friendly And the law leaves you alone I'll believe it when I see it And I haven't seen it yet Don't mind me just keep on talking I'm just looking for my hat There ain't no God in Mexico Ain't no way to understand How that border crossing feeling Makes a fool out of a man If I'd never felt the sunshine Hell, I would not curse the rain If my feet could fit a railroad track I guess I'd been a train Me and Louise Higginbottom Used to chase across the yard Back in 1947, that's when More than times were hard Well, pity me I didn't find The line in time like a fool In front of God and everybody I politely blew my cool Ain't no God in Mexico Ain't no comfort in the kin When you're down in Matamoros Gettin' busted by the man If I'd never felt the sunshine Hell, I would not curse the rain If I hadn't been railroaded Well, I guess I'd been a train
