Verse 1: Down the road a ways i've heard say a new day's comin' 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,keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat Chorus 1: Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand How that border crosswind feelin' makes a fool out of a man If i 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 Louie,Zig and Bobby used to chase across the yard Back in 1947 that's when more than times was hard Pity me i didn't find a line in time and 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 Madamoros gettin' busted by the 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
