Border Lord
Darkness had us covered
When we split from Oklahoma in the morning
In the rain
Black as I was feeling
And the road was slick and shiny like a snake
Each of us was humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin' over in the brain
Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin' every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross
Is burning down before you're off and
Running like the devil just in time
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all, till it's over-understanding
When you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Good lookin' women every time that you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall
Getting to you bad enough to let em
To let em get you backin' up
Till just before your back's against the wall
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, till it's over-understanding
When you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're running out of time
Cause when you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
When we split from Oklahoma in the morning
In the rain
Black as I was feeling
And the road was slick and shiny like a snake
Each of us was humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin' over in the brain
Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin' every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross
Is burning down before you're off and
Running like the devil just in time
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all, till it's over-understanding
When you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Good lookin' women every time that you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall
Getting to you bad enough to let em
To let em get you backin' up
Till just before your back's against the wall
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, till it's over-understanding
When you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're running out of time
Cause when you're headed for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
