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)
