***************** AIN T GOD IN MEXICO ******************
written by Billy Joe Shaver
performed by Waylon Jennings.
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
