Ain’t No God in Mexico Lyrics by Steve Earle

So You Wannabe an Outlaw

2017

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
