Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Borderland lyrics

Well, I headed back to the Borderland

When the home-guard went insane.

No use trying to work with people

Who can't tell fire from rain.

The Judge had tried to hitch a ride

But I only took him half way.

Friends are friends, but in the Borderland

You can't be careful of what you say.

The Sheriff sent me every warning he could

But I knew more than he.

My home is both sides of the Borderland

So he knows where I'll be.

The Businessman in a sleek sedan

Thought he could beat me here,

But roads fade out before you reach the line

And the signposts disappear.

So good to be home in the Borderland

Where things are not what they seem.

So good to be home in the Borderland

Between the dawn and the dream.

The brown-eyed girl from the battleground

Had just met me half-way.

The Border-Guard had let her pass

But said you could not stay.

She gazed upon the mountain above

And she reached out her hand.

The she let go with all her might

And loved the Borderland.

So good to be home in the Borderland

Where things are not what they seem.

So good to be home in the Borderland

Between the dawn and the dream
