Mountains Of Mexico Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Phil Peterson 

I'm going away to leave you, you said I'm going down that road 

To see what I'll see you, see what I've never known 

And one things resting on my mind, 

You said I'm off to see what I wonder I'll find 

I'll be in the mountains of Mexico 

Said I see smiling faces, off on farther down the road 

There all in their places, each with a heavy load 

Seemed like just good people tarnished by the sun 

They all seemed to be living as one 

Up in those mountains of Mexico 

As the road winds onward, twists through unchanging lands 

We look for Mr. Cancer, all we see is those tiny hands 

And offer us sparkling rocks for bread 

We just stopped and shared with the children what we had 

Up in those mountains of Mexico
