Robert Earl Keen - My New Life is Waiting

A
I crossed the Mississippi,
F#m
turned south at San Anton
E
A bowie knife, a woolen coat,
D A
a grip bag on my arm
A F#m
It's all somebody needs to make it through the land
E D A
Walk the night, travel light, cross the Rio Grande
F#m D A E
Someone strums a mandolin, soft gulf breezes blow
A D E A
My new life is waiting in old Mexico
A F#m
I was once a married man livin' peacefully
E D A
Hard to say exactly when the devil blinded me
A F#m
But there was some confusion when my sweet
wife left this world
E
Darker times, drunken crimes,
D A
a dead young working girl
F#m D A E
Left a jailer there in Caroline, watching me from down below
A D E A
My new life is waiting in old Mexico
F#m D
Livin' in the shadows
F#m D
Runnin' from my fame
A D
Blowin' where the wind blows
D E
Where no one knows my name
A F#m
In the El Vaquero Bar in the town of Eagle Pass
E D A
Moments from my freedom warm whiskey in my glass
A F#m
Some boracho took me for the man who stole his wife
E D A
He went for his forty-four as I reached for my knife
F#m D A E
He never fired a second shot he was just too slow
A D E A
My new life is waiting in old Mexico
A F#m
I hear of hidden harbors south of Mazatlan
E
Where cool spring mountain waters
D A
meet the warm Pacific sun
A F#m
I praythe miles I've traveled and all the sins I bear
E D A
Burn away like mornin' fog and vanish in the air
F#m D A E
Miles beyond the border now, but many miles to go
A D E A
My new life is waiting in old Mexico
A D E A
My new life is waiting in old Mexico
