Lyrics:

Down the road 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
But I haven't seen it yet
Don't mind me, just keep on talkin'
I am just looking for my hat
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 had not seen the sunshine
Hell, I would not cuss the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I'd been a train
Me and Louise Higginbotham
Use to chase across the yard
Back in 1947
That's when modern times were hard
Pity me, I didn't see the line
In time and like a fool
In front of God and everybody
I politely blew my cool
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 had not seen the sunshine
I would not cuss the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I'd been a train

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 had not seen the sunshine
Hell, I would not cuss the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I'd been a train
