The Border
Willie Nelson
Continues after the ad
Key:
[Intro] Am [First Part]Am I work on the borderAm I see what I seeG I work on the borderAm And it’s working on me [Second Part]Am I lie awake at nightAm Knowing what I knowG There’s a price on my headAm Of every border patrol [Third Part]Am Where the smugglers do businessAm That’s where I make a standG I know this old desertAm Like the back of my hand [Fourth Part]Am I see greed in the bushesAm I see snakes in the darkG Some are friends of my brothersAm Can’t you hear them dogs bark [Chorus]Continues after the adF I come home to MariaC At the end of the dayF In thе shape of a shadowG Holding demons at bayAm ‘It’s just a border’ thеy say [Fifth Part]Am It was Mexican soldiersAm Out of a black HumveeG With their guns to their shouldersAm Aimed at my partner and me [Sixth Part]Am As they drove away laughingAm But the message was clearG We don’t care about nothingAm But the money down here [Chorus]F I come home to MariaC In a bulletproof vestF With the weight of the whole wide worldG Barring down on my chestAm It’s just a border I guess [Bridge]Em Am From the shacks and the shantysEm Am Come the hungry and poorEm Am Some to drown at the crossesF Some to suffer no more [Seventh Part]Am Guess you heard about CamposAm And RamienG Both of them friends of mineAm Both good men [Eighth Part]Am They did one thing rightAm And look what they gotG Federal prisonAm Where they’re both going to rot [Chorus]F I come home to MariaC Where else would I goF Cross the River to die by myselfG Down In old MexicoAm It’s just the border y’know
Composition: Ry Cooder, Willie Nelson, John Hiatt, James Dickinson, and Jim Dickinson
