Maybe Mexico Songtext
von Jerry Jeff Walker

The whole world′s topsy-turvy
Feel like you're upside down
Every day it′s a push and shove
People tryin' to get around
Workin' hard tryin′ to make some bread
Tryin′ to get it 'fore it gets away
It′s too bad all the man must work to get along
But to live you know he needs to pay

The city is a place in which to build your dreams
It's a chance to give your ideas life
A man gets a longin′ for some country green
He just likes some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, peace and quiet


So I'd be up and leavin′ this town
I said headed down an open road
With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat
Thinkin' 'bout where you′ll go
Maybe New Orleans
Maybe Mexico
Yeah I got to go yeah momma
I got to get outta here don′t you know yeah
Babe I got to head on down

If only you could pack up everything you love
And everyone who'd ever been your friend
Keepin′ close to you the things that make you strong
Got to carry them with you around the bend

The fear of movin' meets the new can keep you in line
You go you know that somethin′ stays behind
Separate the good and bad and take along the kind
To the place you'd like to be and right on time, time

So I′d be up and leavin' this town
I said headed down an open road
With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat
Thinkin' ′bout where you′ll go
Maybe New Orleans
Maybe Mexico
Yeah I got to go yeah momma
I got to get outta here don't you know yeah
Babe I got to head on down


Head on down
Stop off down in Austin, Texas
See some friends of mine, yeah yeah
Down near the border
Down near the border
Down near the border
Down near the border
