Border Town

(专辑： Airborne - 1976)

Life ain't so easy in this border town
It's the dope and the nightlife
And it's no place you'd really want to hang around
But I think I might

Good looking women in this border town
And most of them easy
But some of the dudes that are walking around
Well they're just pretty greasy

The thing is, it bothers you sometimes
Looking into that old familiar shine
Your baby was mine before
And you don't seem to mind, what's more

She came steaming into border town
A little girl with a big dream
Now she's covered in pearls and a long white gown, riding in a limousine

There's a dozen old ladies who were just like that
Sometime back in the thirties
And now they're lonesome and looking for something to do
They got dirty

Because when they don't love you anymore
Can you live on your memories?
And when your good friends ain't hanging at your door
Like a family of strangers, running in misery

Life ain't easy in this border town
The dope and the nightlife
And you'd never even hear it
If the truth went down in border town

And when you're beaten in border town
And there's no place else to go
Throw your dream in the ocean
And start to row away from border town
