J.D. Souther - Border Town lyrics

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
