The Flying Burrito Brothers - Border Town lyrics

Scott Hill-Lawson 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 prettygreasy The thing is, it bothers you sometimes, looking into that old familiarshine 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 a big dream 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 that, sometime back in thethirties And now they're lonesome and looking for something to do, 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 easy in this border town, the dope and the nightlife And you'd never even hear it if the truth went down in border town And when you're beaten in border town and there's no place else to go Throw your dream in the ocean and start to row away from border town
