The Souther Hillman Furay Band - Border Town lyrics

Life ain't so easy in this border town, it's the dope and the nightlife And there'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, it bothers 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 singin' into border town, a little girl with a big dreams Now she's covered in pearls and a long white gown, riding a limousine Oh there's a dozen old ladies who were just like that Sometime back in the thirties 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, run in misery. Life ain't so easy in this border town 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 Border town, away from border town Border town, bye bye border town Border town, border town, border town, border town
