Lyrics

Bordertown

Well it's another strange night slingin' whiskey and wine
On the Mexican side of the California line
Led to another strange morning in another strange bed
Done me a fifth of Tequila, can't get you outta my head

We're living in a bordertown
In a bordertown
Don't wanna hang around, never watch the sun go down
Livin' in a bordertown

Well it's another strange woman and another strange girl
A pretty senorita with pretty long brown curls
I had Kentucky white lightning and she wanted me to stay
But I was rollin' down the highway back to the U.S.A.

We're living in a bordertown
In a bordertown
Don't wanna hang around, never watch the sun go down
We're livin' on the edge

You know your demon smiles when an angel cries
And I couldn't stay when I looked in your eyes
It seems to me we live out lies of fond farewells and sad good-byes
But the desert grows where the riverbed dries

We're living in a bordertown
In a bordertown
Don't wanna hang around, never watch the sun go down
Livin' in a bordertown
