Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

There ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand

How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a man

If i'd never felt the sunshine then i would not curse the rain

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the king

When you're down in Madamoris getting 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
