As recorded by Steve Earle & The Dukes (From the 2017 Album SO YOU WANNABE AN OUTLAW - DELUXE EDITION BONUS TRACK) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                                  E
Down the road a ways I heard say a new day's comin' on

          A                                D
Where the woman folks are friendly and the law leaves you alone

                                    E
I'll believe it when I see it but I haven't seen it yet

           B                                 E
Don't mind me just keep on talkin', I'm just looking for my hat
[Chorus]
         A                       E
Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no way to understand

                                                       A
How that border crossing feeling makes a fool out of a man

                                          E
If I had never seen the sunshine, hell, I would not cuss the rain

                                                       A     D
If my feet would fit a railroad track guess I'd been a train
[Verse 2]
D                                  E
Me and Louise Higginbotham used to chase across the yard

        A                D
Back in 1947 that's when more than times were hard

                                 E
Pity me I didn't see the line in time and like a fool

            B                     E
In front of God and everybody I politely blew my cool
[Chorus]
         A                       E
Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no comfort in the can

                                                  A
When your down in Matamoros gettin' busted by the man

                                 E
If I had not seen the sunshine I would not cuss the rain

                                                       A
If my feet would fit a railroad track guess I'd been a train
[Fiddle & Guitar Solo] A E A E [Out-Chorus]
A                                E
Ain't no God in Mexico, ain't no way to understand

                                                       A
How that border crossing feeling makes a fool out of a man

                                        E
If I had never seen the sunshine then I would not cuss the rain

                                                       A     D
If my feet would fit a railroad track guess I'd been a train
