Border Lord
Kris Kristofferson
Intro: Verso 1 Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning in the rain. Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake. Each of us was humming to a half forgotten echo hanging over in the brain. Tappin? time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take. Verso 2 Losin? to the rising cost of living high and lovin? hard and leavin? ever yesterday behind. Learnin? 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 takin? any comfort you can find. Runnin? like you?re runnin? out of time ~~~~ Take it all (take it easy) ?till it?s over understandin? When you?re headin? for the border Lord you?re bound to cross the line. Verso 3 Good lookin? women every time you stumble waitin? there to catch you where you fall. Getting? to you bad enough to let ?em keep 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 (take it easy) ?till it?s over understandin? when you?re headin? for the border Lord you?re bound to cross the line. Fade . . . . .
