Bordertown

Your heart is a bordertown
All fences and weeds and walls
Growin high against the metal posts
Of billboard signs
Frenzied shovelin under the stars
Your heart is a bordertown
Never knew where it belonged
Now there are overflow camps in your valleys
And ragged folks sleeping downtown
And I get lost sometimes
Looking into those eyes
Your heart is a bordertown
Your Mighty Rio’s barely trickling now
And far away smoke drifts in slow motion
Above doe eyed kids walking alone
And I get lost sometimes
Looking into those eyes
I get lost sometimes
Looking into those eyes
Our heart are border towns
Eagles crash towards the mountains brow
Watch the Caravans oh how they crawl
Towards a place that they may never know
And I get lost sometimes
Looking into those eyes
When There’s nowhere to go from here
