Bordertown

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
 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
