Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son
  Tomorrow mornin' I could be a bum
  It doesn't matter which direction, though
  I know a woman in New Mexico
    Chorus:
  Worse comes to worst
  I'll get along
  I don't know how, but sometimes
  I can be strong
    Oh, and if I don't have a car, I'll hitch
  I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch
  I do my writing on my road guitar
  And make a living at a piano bar, oh
    Chorus
    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
    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
    Chorus 3x and fade
