It doesn't matter which direction though
Bb F
I know a woman in New Mexico, oh

Dm7 G Dm7 G
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

C G
And if I don't have a car I'll hitch
Bb F
I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch
C G
I'll do my writing on my road guitar
Bb F
And make a livin' at a piano bar, oh
[Chorus]
Dm7 G Dm7 G
Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7 G Dm7 G
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
[Bridge]
G Am Bb
Woo, woo, woo
Bb F
Lightning and thunder
C G
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
Bb F
Oh, but it's clear skies we're under
Am G G7
When I am together, when I sing the song
[Instrumental]

Oh, fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Bb F
Too many people got a hold on me
C G
But I know something that they don't know
Bb F
I know a woman in New Mexico, oh
[Outro]
