Ridin' My Thumb to Mexico
Johnny Rodriguez
This old highwa[C]y seems so lonesome
When You're [Em]going where you've been
And a lo[F]nesome song can make you cry
[G7]Time and time again
If I'd [C]listened to a friend of mine ten
[Am]Years ago today, I'd have a be[F]tter job
Than what I've got toda[G7]y
2nd verse
But the [C]billboards on the highway and the
[Em]brake lights on the cars
Make me j[F]ump out on the highway with my [G7]bag and my guitar
If she c[C]omes or if she goes it doesn't [Am]matter
Anymore cause i'm [F]ridin' my [G7]thumb to Mex[C]ico
(chorus)
[F]Ridin' my th[G7]umb to Mexico[C-E7-Am]
It don't matter when or how I go
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico
3d Verse
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
(chorus)
Ridin' my thumb to Mexico
It don't matter when or how I go
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico
