Where the sun goes up and the sun comes down nothing ever changes in a border town
|
It turns around and starts all over again
|
It's alcohol and nicotine and everyday's like Halloween
|
It's a muy loco world we're living in
|
It's broken dreams and shady deals
|
Red hot cars and cold blue steel
|
And every night temptation comes around
|
And down on the border where the coyotes howl
|
The hot winds blow and the big boys prowl
|
Always something evil going down
|
|
CHORUS
|
Look out boy you're gonna lose control
|
Blow your cool and curse your soul
|
Open up your eyes and read the signs
|
Are you gonna be a man and stand up tall
|
Or turn your back and say the hell with it all
|
Don't you know that the blind can't lead the blind
|
And you're just about to cross the line
|
|
Don't you know if you turn your back the water gets muddy and the cards get stacked
|
Nobody gets a free ride in this game
|
A rich man poor man beggar man thief doctor lawyer or an Indian chief
|
In the eyes of the law they're all gonna look the same
|
But right's still right and wrong's still wrong
|
And they keep on singing that same old song
|
About the only ones are you and me
|
Take a look in the mirror cause you know what you are
|
A belly full of guts and a little tin star
|
And you're standing between the devil and the deep blue sea
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
