The Border

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


Chorus:
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
