Billy Joel - New Mexico (Demo - 1973)

Today I'm living like a rich man, son
Tomorrow morning I could be a bum
It doesn't matter which direction, though
I know a woman in New Mexico

Worse comes to worse I'll get a loan
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

And if I don't have a car I'll hitch
I got my thumb and she's a sonofabitch
I'll do my writing on my road guitar
And make a living at a piano bar

Worse comes to worse I'll get along
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

Lightning and thunder
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
But it's clear skies we're under
When we are together, when we sing this song

Worse comes to worse I'll get along
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

Fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many got a hold on me
But I know something they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico

Worse comes to worse I'll get a loan
I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
