Down the road a ways I have heard say a new day's comin' 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 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 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 gettin' 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
