Bordertown |
| Out on a range in a season too soon |
| No electric light up in my room |
| With a dark skin woman, I’m naked and sane |
| You could learn about the world in an afternoon |
| But the Bordertown shook my hand |
| It was the gateway to some other land |
| I said, ?The Bordertown is the great divide |
| And just the gateway to some other side? |
| I got to get across |
| Now, some folks live in the trailer park, yeah |
| With the Naugahyde law and the liquor shark |
| Where the networks and the new machine |
| They don’t even try to make no mark |
| Yeah, see the Bordertown shook my hand |
| It was the gateway to some other land |
| Yeah and now the Bordertown is the great divide |
| And just the gateway to some other side |
| I got to get across |
| When you came 'round I loved you well |
| When you got paid it was harder to tell |
| Now I got no grind with cruel gold |
| I’m just sittin' round wondering what next to sell |
| Yeah and now the Bordertown shook my hand |
| It was the gateway to some other land, yeah |
| And now the Bordertown is the great divide |
| And just the gateway to some other side |
| Yeah and now the Bordertown shook my hand |
| It was the gateway to some other land |
| Yeah, I got to get across |
