Bordertown |
| In the quiet hours before the dawn |
| Buttons up his uniform |
| Takes out his badge and pins it on |
| For thirty years he’s enforced the law |
| And he drives out on the Rio Grande |
| Across the dry and sunburned land |
| And on this side he takes his stand again |
| They won’t get through this bordertown |
| He turns 'em back, he stands his ground |
| But still they come, because they know |
| Somewhere the streets are paved with gold |
| Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown |
| It’s not his place to say what’s fair |
| He’s done his duty all these years |
| In his mind the law’s the law |
| But then at dusk she wades across |
| And he sees the hope thats in her eyes |
| Child with dreams of a brand new life |
| It’s not his job to say what’s right or wrong |
| They won’t get through this bordertown |
| He turns 'em back, he stands his ground |
| But still they come, because they know |
| Somewhere the streets are paved with gold |
| Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown |
| As night falls over Mexico |
| He waits there as she comes ashore |
| Finished, there’s a moment of faith |
| He turns his back and he walks away |
