Over the Border Songtext
von Eric Burdon

I closed the door on a Hong Kong man
He made his living selling heroin
Check your cactus, it don′t need no water
TV said it was quite a slaughter

Slam the hood down on the Plymouth Roadrunner
Put the cigar right on, I like the smell of the flavor
Check your mirrors and did you check the radiator?
Where we going? (Where we going?) Where we going? (Over the border)
Where we going? (Where we going?) Where we going? (Over the border)

I caught a plane out of Cincinnati
He was a third generation, cute and pretty
He laughed as he asked me for a favor
I put a nine millimeter in his ear and said, "I'll see you later"


Slam the hood down on the Plymouth Roadrunner
Put the cigar right on, I like the smell of the flavor
Check your mirrors and did you check the radiator?
Where we going? (Where we going?) Where we going? (Over the border)

All you really needed was to be somebody
They took the kindness from your eyes
That′s the breaks, how do you like 'em?
Thirty years on the highway running
I got a trunk full of guns, no love and no woman

So I stepped into this bar in downtown Miami
There is a cocaine czar making lots of money
Check the safety on both your Uzis
Thirty seconds later, ow, it's kinda gooey

Slam the hood down on the Plymouth Roadrunner
Put the cigar right on, I like the smell of the flavor
Check your mirrors and did you check the radiator?
Where we going? (Where we going?) Where we going? (Over the border)
Where we going? (Where we going?) Where we going? (Over the border)
Where we going? (Where we going?) Baby (Over the border)
Where we going? (Where we going?) Baby (Over the border)
