Steve Earle - Ain't No God in Mexico lyrics

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

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

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

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

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
