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
