Robert Earl Keen - My New Life is Waiting

A                                               F#m
I crossed the Mississippi,              turned south at San Anton        
E                                          D             A
A bowie knife, a woolen coat,           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                                  D                  A
Darker times, drunken crimes,   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              F#m                D
Livin' in the shadows           Runnin' from my fame
  A                D                  D                E
Blowin' where the wind blows    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                                                       D         A
Where cool spring mountain waters               meet the warm Pacific sun
A                                                   F#m
I pray the 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
