Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson - Ain't No God In Mexico lyrics

rate me

Down the road a ways I've heard said<br />

A new day's coming on<br />

Where the women folks are friendly<br />

And the law leaves you alone<br />

<br />

I'll believe it when I see it<br />

And I haven't seen it yet<br />

Don't mind me just keep on talking<br />

I'm just looking for my hat<br />

<br />

There ain't no God in Mexico<br />

Ain't no way to understand<br />

How that border crossing feeling<br />

Makes a fool out of a man<br />

<br />

If I'd never felt the sunshine<br />

Hell, I would not curse the rain<br />

If my feet could fit a railroad track<br />

I guess I'd been a train<br />

<br />

Me and Louise Higgins Botham<br />

Used to chase across the yard<br />

Back in 1947 that's when<br />

More than times were hard<br />

<br />

Well, pity me I didn't find<br />

The line in time like a fool<br />

In front of God and everybody<br />

I politely blew my cool<br />

<br />

Ain't no God in Mexico<br />

Ain't no comfort in the kin<br />

When you're down in Madamoris<br />

Gettin' busted by the man<br />

<br />

If I'd never felt the sunshine<br />

Hell, I would not curse the rain<br />

If I hadn't been railroaded<br />

Well, I guess I'd been a train
