Life ain't so easy in this border town,
It's the dope and the nightlife.
And it's no place you'd really want to hang around,
but I think I might.
Good looking women in this border town,
and most of them easy.
But some of the dudes that are walking around,
well they're just, pretty greasy.
The thing is, its gonna bother you sometimes,
looking into that old familiar shine.
Your baby was mine before,
and you don't seem to mind, what's more
She came steamin' into border town,
a little girl with some dreams
Now she's covered in pearls and a long white gown,
riding in a limousine.
There's a dozen old ladies who were just like her,
sometime back in the thirties.
And now they're lonesome and looking for something to do,
Well, they got dirty.
Because when they don't love you anymore,
can you live on your memories?
And when your good friends ain't hanging at your door
Like a family of strangers, running in misery.
Life ain't so easy in this border town,
there's too much dope and too much running around.
And you'd never even hear it if the truth went down,
In border town
And when you're beaten in border town
There's no place else to go
Throw your dream in the ocean and start to row
away from border town.
Bye-bye border town.
