Honky Tonk Heroes

Down the road a ways I've heard said
 A new day's coming on
 Where the women folks are friendly
 And the law leaves you alone.


 I'll believe it when I see it
 And I haven't seen it yet
 Don't mind me just keep on talking
 I'm just looking for my hat.


 There 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'd never felt the sunshine
 Hell, I would not curse the rain
 If my feet could fit a railroad track
 I guess I'd been a train.


 Me and Louise Higgins Botham
 Used to chase across the yard
 Back in 1947 that's when
 More than times were hard.


 Well, pity me I didn't find
 The line in time 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 kin
 When you're down in Madamoris
 Gettin' busted by the man.


 If I'd never felt the sunshine
 Hell, I would not curse the rain
 If I hadn't been railroaded
 Well I guess I'd been a train...
