Down the road a ways I've heard said   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 Higgins Botham   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 Madamoris   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
