Border Lord

Composed by：Kris Kristofferson/Donnie Fritts/Stephen Bruton/Terry Paul

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

Then leaving every yesterday behind ya

Burnin' every bridge you 'cross is burnin'

Down before your eyes

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

Oh yeah oh

Across the line

Across the line

Across that line

Oh yeah

Ohh uhh ohh ohh

Oh lalala
