Johnny Rodriguez (born December 10 1951 in Sabinal,TX) is American country music singer. He was the first charting Latin American country music singer, infusing his music with latin sounds, and even singing verses of songs in Spanish. He got his break after being discovered by Bobby Bare and parlayed that into a gig playing in Tom T. Hall's backing band. By the early 1970s he had moved on from being Hall's "secretary" of the road, scribbling down Hall's ideas

2nd verse C But the billboards on the highway and the Em brake lights on the cars FG7 Make me jump out on the highway with my bag and my guitar CAm If she comes or if she goes it doesn't matter FG7C Anymore cause i'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
(chorus) FG7C-E7-Am Ridin' my thumb to Mexico
It don't matter when or how I go
I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again
I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico
3d Verse
The reason why she left me's not the reason that I'm here; I'm a travlin' kind of man, just need a change of atmosphere. If there's any place I haven't been at all that's where I'll go So I'm ridin' my thumb to Mexico
(chorus)
Ridin' my thumb to Mexico It don't matter when or how I go I'm ridin' my thumb til I see her again I'm ridin my thumb to Mexico
