***************** AIN'T GOD IN MEXICO ******************
written by Billy Joe Shaver
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
D E
Down the road a ways i've heard said a new day's coming on
A D
Where the women folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone
E
I'll believe it when i see it and i haven't seen it yet
B E
Don't mind me just keep on talking i'm just looking for my hat
Chorus 1:
A E
There ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no way to understand
A
How that border crossing feeling makes afool out of a man
E
If i'd never felt the sunshine then i would not curse the rain
A
If my feet could fit a railroad track,i guess i'd been a train
Verse 2:
D E
Me and Louise Higgins-Botham used to chase across the yard
A D
Back in 1947 that's when more than times were hard
E
Well pity me i didn't find the line in time like a fool
B E
In front of God and everybody i politely blew my cool
Chorus 2:
A E
Ain't no God in Mexico,ain't no comfort in the king
A
When you're down in Madamoris getting busted by the man
E
If i'd never felt the sunshine,Hell i would not curse the rain
A
If i hadn't been railroaded well i guess i'd been a train
