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
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
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
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
