C                          G
   Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son
Bb                          F
   Tomorrow morning I could be a bum. 
C                            G
   It doesn't matter which direction though.
Bb                        F
   I know a woman in New Mexico


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


   
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

(Chorus)

Bridge:

 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
    C                   G
   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)
