Ain't No God In Mexico

(앨범: When I Get My Wings - 1976)

Down the road a ways I have heard say a new day's coming on
Where the woman folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone
Well, I'll believe it when I see it but I haven't seen it yet
Don't mind me just keep on talking 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 your rain
My feet would fit a railroad track, I would made one hell of a train

Me and Louise Higginbotham use to race across the yard
Back in 1947 that's when more than times were hard
Well 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 can
When your down in matamoras getting busted by the man
If I had not seen the sunshine I would not cuss your rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track I guess I would have been a train
