Lyrics
~ BORDER RUNNIN? COWBOY ~
A F# G G# A
I Road on in to San Antone , on a hot and dusty night
A
The moon was full and the lights were low, and I almost died of fright.
The streets were bare and to my surprise, not even a soul in site
Which was really staring in deed to me, especially on Friday night
------------------------------------- fill
I walked along the sidewalk, smelled fried chicken cookin? near
Smelled just like Mom used to make, but the chill never left the air
Things were getting so frightnin weird , that Jack the ripper might appear
Then I heard a voice from behind said, freeze son your covered from the rear
------------------------------------Instrumental
There was rats on my left and feds on my right, looked like the makins of a pretty good fight
So I slapped leather drew to my right and the rats on my left moved into the night
They backed me down an alley way, that?s when I lost my fear
Cause out of the night came a saucer shaped light, and I floated up into the glaire
------------------------------------- fill
The dude drivin was kind a weird, had a bierd to his belly and long wavy hair
I said thanks bud, but step on the gas, lets get the hell out a here.
He said sure thing , any time Bro, but to tell you the truth , I?m late for the show
So tell me quickly, quickly please, where it is that you would like to go
Well I said Huston, Denver, L.A., Rome, right now I?ll make any place my home
But mister please, mister don?t, take me back to that God for sakin San Antone
I said Hustonn, Denver, L.A., Rome, right now I?ll make any place my home
But mister please, mister don?t, take me
Back to that God forsakin
Back to that God forsakin
Back to that God forsakin San Antone
