Verse 1:

Down the road a ways i've heard say a new day's comin' on

Don't mind me,keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat
Chorus 1:
A E
Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand
A
How that border crosswind feelin' makes a fool out of a man

If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train

Me and Louie,Zig and Bobby used to chase across the yard

Pity me i didn't find a line in time and like a fool
B E
In front of God and everybody i politely blew my cool

Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the cane
A
When you're down in Madamoros gettin' busted by the man

A
If my feet could fit a railroad track i guess i'd been a train
