Standard (EADGBE)
Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son
Tomorrow morning I could be a bum.
It doesn't matter which direction though.
I know a woman in New Mexico
Chorus
Worst comes to worst, I'll get along.
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
And if I don't have a car I'll hitch.
I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch.
I'll do my writing on my road guitar
And make a livin' at a piano bar
(Chorus)
Bridge
Lightning and thunder
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
Oh, but it's clear skies we're under
When I am together, when I sing the song
(Verse Instrumental)
(Chorus)
Oh, fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many people got a hold on me
But I know something that they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico
(Repeat Chorus 3x)
