aint no god in mexico — текст песни (jennings waylon)

***************** 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
