Riding My Thumb to Mexico - Jody Nix

Riding My Thumb to Mexico Lyrics

This old highway seems so lonesome, where you go and where you’ve been,
And the lonesome song that makes you cry, time and time again,
If I’d listen 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.
Chorus:
Riding my thumb to Mexico, oh, oh,
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 is not the reason that I’m here,
I’m a traveling kind of man just need a change of atmosphere,
If there’s anyplace I haven’t been that’s all I’ll go,

So I’m riding my thumb to Mexico
