"Border Lord" lyrics
"Border Lord"
(feat. Kris Kristofferson)
Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota
In the morning, in the rain
Like his eyes feelin' and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was hummin' to a half forgotten nickel hangin' over
In the brain
Time and time been thinkin' of the time we never had the time to take
Losin' to the risin' cost of livin', I am lovin' hard
Even with yesterday behind ya
Burnin' every bridge you cross, it's burnin' down before you're off
You're runnin' like the Devil just in time
Breakin' any ties before they find you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, take it easy
'Til it's over
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Good lookin' women every time you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall, when you fall
Get into you bad enough to let 'em keep you backin' up
'Til just before your back's against the wall
Breakin' any ties before they find you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, take it easy
'Til it's over
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Oh
Across the line
Across the line
Across that line
Oh, yeah

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - "Thirteen Days" Thirteen days on a gig in the South

Lyle Lovett - "Step Inside This House" That picture hangin' on the wall
Was painted by a friend
He gave it to me all down and out
When he owed me ten
Now it doesn't look like much I guess
But it's all that's left of him
And it sure is...

Suzanne Vega - "Walk On The Wild Side" Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.

She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side."
