Alabama to the Border

Verse 1

Left the station

Empty hand in Alabama

Steel rails hum beneath my feet

Climbing towards that Texas sun

Stopped in El Paso just to breathe

Riding that boxcar until the sun was done

Pre-Chorus

Desert wind starts to pull

Crossing lines to be free

Where the badges carry weight

But the grins are for me

Chorus

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Meeting Felix for the golden green

Fifty pounds on a handshake

Smoothest lawmen that I ever seen

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow (hitting slow)

Verse 2

Felix lights a big one

Handing over heavy bricks of green

Ladies laughing near the bar

Blue uniforms join the party crowd

Singing songs loud under the moon

Moving until my head is in a cloud

Pre-Chorus

Desert wind starts to pull

Crossing lines to be free

Where the badges carry weight

But the grins are for me

Chorus

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Meeting Felix for the golden green

Fifty pounds on a handshake

Smoothest lawmen that I ever seen

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow (hitting slow)

Bridge

Tequila pours in plastic cups

Handshakes from the federales

Tequila pours

Glasses up

Money on the table

Party in the valley

Chorus

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Meeting Felix for the golden green

Fifty pounds on a handshake

Smoothest lawmen that I ever seen

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow

Juarez rhythm hitting real slow (hitting slow)
