--- Start Of Riding My Thumb To Mexico Lyrics ---

This old highway seems so lonesome when you're goin' where you've been
And a lonesome song can make you cry time and time again
If I had listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today
I'd have a better job than what I've got today

But the billboards on the highways and the brakelights on the cars
Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar
If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter anymore
Cause I'm ... ridin' my thumb to Mexico

Ridin' my thumb to Mexico
It don't matter when or how I go
I'll ride this thumb till I see her again
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico

BREAK

Well the reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here
I'm a traveling 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

Ridin' my thumb to Mexico
It don't matter when or how I go
I'll ride this thumb till I see her again
So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
