C                                              Em
This old highway seems so lonesome when you're going where you've been
      F                              G7
And a lonesome song can make you cry time and time again
     C                                Am
If I had listened to a friend of mine ten years ago today
F                                        G7
I'd have a better job than what I've got today
 
    C                                     Em
But the billboards on the highway and the brake lights on the cars
         F                              G7
Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar
       C                              Am
If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter anymore
           F         G7         C
Cause I'm  ridin' my thumb to Mexico
 
F         G7       C     E7  Am
Ridin' my thumb to Mexi--co-oo-o
F               G7            C
It don't matter when or how I go
F                   C     Em      Am
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
C        F       G7       C
So I'll  ride my thumb to Mexico
 
                                     Em
The reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here 
      F                                 G7
I'm a travlin' kind of man  just need a change of atmosphere  
           C                           Am
If there's any place I haven't been at all that's where I'll go
C        F       G7           C
So I'll  ride my thumb to Mexico
 
F         G7       C    E7  Am
Ridin' my thumb to Mexi-co-oo-o
F               G7            C
It don't matter when or how I go
F                   C     Em      Am
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
C        F       G7       C
So I'll  ride my thumb to Mexico
