Bordertown Songtext
von Chris Whitley

Out on the range and the season′s too soon
No electric light up in my room
With a dark skinned woman, I'm naked and sane
You can learn about the world in an afternoon

But the border town, it shook my hand
It was the gateway to some other land
Said the border town is the great divide
Just the gateway to some other side
I gotta get across

Some folks live in the trailer park, yeah
With the naugahyde law and the liquor shark
With the networks and the new machine, yeah
They don′t even try to make no mark, yeah


And the border town, it shook my hand
It was the gateway to some other land, yeah
Now the border town is the great divide
Just the gateway to some other side
I gotta get across

When you came around, I loved you well
When you got paid, it was harder to tell
Now I got no grind with cruel goals
I just sit around wondering what next to sell, yeah

And now the border town, it shook my hand
It was the gateway to some other land, yeah
Now the border town is the great divide
It was the gateway to some other side, yeah
Now the border town, it shook my hand
It was the gateway to some other land, yeah
I gotta get across
