Gathering Field - Bordertown lyrics

Stood a building by the river in a place called Bordertown Me and my friend Little Steven used to take our money down We were only seventeen then, starving for experience If you had 'bout twenty dollars, you could find a true romance Friday came around We were going down to Bordertown Was a man named Dollar Bill there, take your money at the door I'd drink an hour, build my courage, go get what I came there for Was a girl named Rosalita, heart as big as Tennessee Save my money every week just to get her close to me Friday came around I was going down to Bordertown I was going down to Bordertown Rosalita, Spanish Rose Laughed at me when I proposed I was drunk and feeling blue Said, "I'll make an honest girl of you." Oh no, she shot me down Down to the ground in Bordertown I was going down to Bordertown Many years have come and gone, I gotta wife and family now Drive a truck for Carolina, sometimes takes me through that town Park my rig upon the land where the building used to stand Sit remembering Rosalita, turned a young boy to a man. Friday came ar4ound I was going down, I was going down Friday came around I was going down to Bordertown I was going down to Bordertown I was going down to Bordertown
