Tony Joe White - Down by the Border lyrics

Moonlight out on the water The salty air touching my skin Walking with a barefoot woman On the Padre Island sand She was golden brown And her hair shined just like silver The words left unspoken But there was something strong there between us The crowd down in Reynosa Filled the arena with their cheers The blood flowed in the hot afternoon They sit and laugh and drink their beer But her face was just like stone And she left her heart unguarded And I fell so hard for her Down by the border Her face was just like stone And she left her heart unguarded And I fell so hard for her Down by the border
