Aldo Nova - The Border lyrics
[Aldo Nova - The Border lyrics]
With my friend Jimmy by my side
My gun has six strings and my
Horse is made of steel
And through the night, we'll
Ride ride, ride
Ride
I might not live to see tomorrow
They say that I'm a wanted man
So every second that I live
Is time that's borrowed
Now my life is in God's hands
So down the highway, headlights they dance
And do the tango, I'm in a trance
They've got me running, now I'm gunning
For the Rio Grande
So here I go, right down to Mexico
I hope I make it to the border
One thing I know, they're out to get me so
I hope I make it to the border
You know, last night they almost got me
But me and Jimmy got away
And I know they won't stop
Until they've finally caught me
That'll be my dying day
Five hundred miles until I get there
I'm gonna have to stop for gas
I never know what day is gonna be the day
That my life finally comes to pass
So mother Mary, if you can hear
Keep praying for me, they're getting near
I'm tired of running but they're coming
And I'm getting scared
So here I go, right down to Mexico
I hope I make it to the border
One thing I know, they're out to get me so
I hope I make it to the border
I wonder how I'll make it through
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
Will I get blood on my hands?
Will I kill another man?
So I'll live
The people that are out to get me
They made up lies and bent the truth
So much the girl I love
Is trying to forget me
And that hurts, I'm telling you
But when I find her, she will be strong
Put it behind her and carry on
So wait, I'm coming, yeah I'm running
To sing you a song
So here I go, right down to Mexico
I hope I make it to the border
One thing I know, they're out to get me so
I hope I make it to the border
I hope I'll make it to the border
I hope I make it to the border
The border, the border
