The Border

Em                                
They met down in Brownsville in a 
G
little border dive
D                                 
She was just looking for someone 
             C
to dance with he was just looking 
for a fight
Em                           
They knew what they wanted but 
  G
that's about all they knew
D                                
They liked to be with each other 
C
just to see what the other would do


Chorus:
Continues after the ad
G               D
They're walking on the border
Em              C
Love that wild side
G               D
They're walking on the border
Em                 C
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 “

Chorus

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
