This old highway seems so lonesome
When you're going where you've been
And a lonesome song can make you cry time and time again
If I'd 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 highway
And the brake lights 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 riding my thumb to Mexico
Riding 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 riding my thumb to Mexico
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 riding my thumb to Mexico
Riding 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 riding my thumb to Mexico
