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 |
