The Border

By Chris Knight

Written by Chris Knight/Christie Sutherland

CD- The Jealous Kind

Capo 2

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

Chorus
