The Border Lyrics

By Chris Knight
CD- The Jealous Kind
They met down in Brownsville in a little border dive
She was just looking for someone to dance with he was just looking for a fight
They knew what they wanted but that's about all they knew
They liked to be with each other just to see what the other would do
Chorus:
They're walking on the border
Love that wild side
They're walking on the border
Ain't they feeling fine
The sun fell on Loretta asleep in the back of the van
Jim smoked his Camel and stared across the Rio Grande
He said Hey wake up, Loretta, we've got some work to do
Gotta see a friend of a friend down in Vera Cruz
Back in Brownsville, Texas, a week on down the road
They ran out of American money, ran out of Mexico
They were kissing on the corner, ain't it good to be alive
Then they crashed the door of the liquor store she handed him his forty-five
