Lyrics

Border Town

The day is setting – painted sky
Against the sun kissed desert - lonely sight
Driving on a road that winds at night
Over the hill comes a pool of stars below
Lights from the town at the end of the road

Border town

See your midnight eyes and your amber hair
Innocent romance living simple cares
I can hold you now like I still am there
Smell the breeze – summers from a distant hold
Calls the town at the end of the road

Border town

You can hear the band play from top of the hill
Echo rhythms moving with the beats of cheap beer
At midnight the river calls and we draw near
And live a side few others ever known
Across the town at the end of the road

Border town

There we’d sit around and drink to our complaints
Of this one horse town and planned out our escapes
Though few did leave in time most just stayed
And still dream of being gone
While we that left staying drawn
All headed - to the town at the end of the road

Now the years have gone and the past has changed
Highway grooved by commerce - dusty streets now paved
New politics new dealers but the accent stays the same
Sing a song to a place that once was home
The town at the end of the road

Border town
