Maybe Mexico Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

The whole world's topsy turvy 

You feel like you're upside down 

Everyday it's a push and a shove 

People tryin' to get around 

Working hard, tryin' to make some bread 

Kinda get it 'fore it gets away 

It's too bad our old man must work to get along 

But living knowing needs a pay 

The city is a place in which dirty dreams 

It's chance to give your ideas, life 

Man, gets along in Folsom country green 

He just likes some peace and quiet 

Peace and quiet, peace and quiet 

So, I've to be up and leaving this town 

And set headed down an open road 

With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat 

Thinking 'bout where you're going 

Maybe New Orleans, maybe Mexico 

Yeah, got to go, yeah, I'm, I'm, I've got to get out of 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 

Keeping close to you the things that make you strong 

Got to carry them with you around the bend 

The fear to move and meet the new can keep you in line 

To go you know that something stays behind 

Separate the good and bad and take along the kind 

To the place you'd like to be and right down the line, line 

Oh, I've to be up and leaving this town 

And set headed down an open road 

With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat 

Thinking 'bout where you're going 

Maybe New Orleans, maybe Mexico 

Yeah, got to go, yeah, I'm, I'm, I've got to get out of here 

Don't you know, yeah, babe 

I've to be up and leaving this town 

And set headed down an open road 

With all that you own kinda thrown on the back seat 

Thinking 'bout where you're going 

Maybe New Orleans, maybe Mexico 

Yeah, got to go, yeah, I'm, I'm, I've got to get out of 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
