Ain’t No God in Mexico Songtext
von Billy Joe Shaver

Down the road 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
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 the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I'd been a train


Me and Louise Higginbotham
Use to chase across the yard
Back in 1947
That′s when modern 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 cane
When you're down in Matamoros
Gettin′ busted by the man

If I had not seen the sunshine
I would not cuss the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I′d been a train

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 the rain
If my feet would fit a railroad track
I guess I'd been a train
