Bordertown

Out on the range and the season's too soon

No electric light up in my room

With a dark skinned woman, I'm naked and sane

You can learn about the world in an afternoon

But the border town, it shook my hand

It was the gateway to some other land

Said the border town is the great divide

Just the gateway to some other side

I gotta get across

Some folks live in the trailer park, yeah

With the naugahyde law and the liquor shark

With the networks and the new machine, yeah

They don't even try to make no mark, yeah

And the border town, it shook my hand

It was the gateway to some other land, yeah

Now the border town is the great divide

Just the gateway to some other side

I gotta get across

When you came around, I loved you well

When you got paid, it was harder to tell

Now I got no grind with cruel goals

I just sit around wondering what next to sell, yeah

And now the border town, it shook my hand

It was the gateway to some other land, yeah

Now the border town is the great divide

It was the gateway to some other side, yeah

Now the border town, it shook my hand

It was the gateway to some other land, yeah

I gotta get across
