Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico

Capo 1 
 
         C    
This old highway seems so lonesome  
            Em 
When you're goin' where you've been 
      F 
And a lonesome song can make you cry 
G 
Time and time again 
       C 
If I'd listened to a friend of mine 
    Am 
Ten years ago today 
           F  
I'd have a better job 
                     G 
Than what I've got today 
 
 
        C 
But the billboards on the highway 
        Em 
And the brake lights on the cars 
        F 
Make me jump out on the highway 
        G 
With my bag and my guitar 
       C 
If she comes or if she goes 
           Am 
It doesn't matter anymore 
          F         G            C 
Cause I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico 

F         G            C C/B Am 
Ridin' my thumb to Mexico-o--o 
F               G             C 
It don't matter when or how I go 
F             G           C   C/B   Am 
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again 
    F        G            C 
I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico  
 
 
The reason why she left me's 
Not the reason that I'm here 
I'm a travlin' kind of man 
Just need a change of atmosphere 
If there's any place I haven't been 
At all that's where I'll go 
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
