Bordertown
Lyricist:Christopher Whitley
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
