Ain't No God in Mexico

[Verse 1] Down the road a ways, I heard say there's a new day 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'm just lookin' for my hat [Chorus] Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no way to understand How that border-crossin' feelin' 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, guess I'da 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 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 [Chorus] Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no comfort in the can When you're down in Matamoros, gettin' busted by the man If I had not seen the sunshine, then I would not cuss the rain If my feet would fit a railroad track, guess I'da been a train [Chorus] Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no way to understand How that border-crossin' feelin' makes a fool out of a man If I had not seen the sunshine, then I would not cuss the rain If my feet would fit a railroad track, guess I'da been a train
