[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Me and Louise Higginbotham
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 cane
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
I guess I'd been a train
