Karaoke Track: Border by Rodney Crowell (Dream Catcher) - Karaoke Nerds

I see whatl see

Iwork on the border

and it's workin' on me

Iwork on the border

and it's workin' on me

knowing what I know

There's a price on the head of

every border patrol

There's a price on the head of

every border patrol

Where the smugglers do business

that's where I make a stand
I know this oId desert

like the back of my hand

that's where I make a stand

I know this old desert

like the back of my hand

like the back of my hand

I see greed in the bushes
I see snakes in the dark.
Some are friends of my brother's

can't you hear them dogs bark

I see snakes in the dark.

Some are friends of my brother's

can't you hearthem dogs bark

can't you hearthem dogs bark

at the end ofthe day

in the shape of a shadow

Holding demons at bay

Holding demons at bay

It was Mexican soldiers

out ofa black Humvee

Ah they drove away laughing

but the message was clear

but the money down here

I come home to Maria

in a bulletproof vest

I come home to Maria

in a bulletproof vest

With the weight ofthe whole wide

world bearing down on my chest

It's just the

borderl guess

From the shack's and the shanty's
come the hungry and poor
Some to drown at the crossing

some to suffer no more

come the hungry and poor

Some to drown at the crossing

some to suffer no more

some to suffer no more

Campos and Ramien

Both ofthem friends of mine

both good men

Both ofthem friends of mine

both good men

and look what they got

Federal prison where

they're both gonna rot

Federal prison where

they're both gonna rot

I come home to Maria

where else would I go

Across the river to

die by myself.
