Tony Joe White - Down By The Border lyrics
[Tony Joe White - Down By The Border lyrics]
Moonlight out on the water
The salty air touching my skin
Walking with a barefoot woman
On the Padre Island sand
She was golden brown
And her hair shined just like silver
The words left unspoken
But there was something strong there between us
The crowd down in Reynosa
Filled the arena with their cheers
The blood flowed in the hot afternoon
They sit and laugh and drink their beer
But her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
Her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
The salty air touching my skin
Walking with a barefoot woman
On the Padre Island sand
She was golden brown
And her hair shined just like silver
The words left unspoken
But there was something strong there between us
The crowd down in Reynosa
Filled the arena with their cheers
The blood flowed in the hot afternoon
They sit and laugh and drink their beer
But her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
Her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
