  			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
