When I Get to the Border |
| Greedy people take what’s mine |
| I can leave them all behind |
| And they can never cross that line |
| When I get to the border |
| Saw-bones standin' at the door |
| Waiting till I hit the floor |
| He won’t find me anymore |
| When I get to the border |
| Monday morning, Monday morning |
| Closing in on me |
| I’m packin' up and I’m a-runnin' away |
| To where nobody thinks of me |
| If you see a box of pine |
| With a name that looks like mine |
| Say I drowned in a barrel of wine |
| When I got to the border |
| When I got to the border |
| A one way ticket’s in my hand |
| Headed for the chosen land |
| My troubles will all turn to sand |
| When I get to the border |
| A soft girl with yellow hair |
| Waiting in that rockin' chair |
| And if I’m weary I won’t care |
| When I get to the border |
| A dusty road that smells so sweet |
| Paved with gold beneath my feet |
| And I’ll be dancing down the street |
| When I get to the border |
| When I get to the border |
