Borderline Gold

Intro

(Check it)

Borderline bound

Roll the window down

Southward bound

Verse 1

Left Bama with a bag of change

Rolling out of Mobile on the iron range

Tracks clicking through the lonely night

Staring at the stars until the morning light

Wheels humming through the Texas scrub

El Paso platform where I hit the hub

Walked across the bridge to Juarez side

Looking for a place where I could safely hide

Met Felix at the station square

Laughter in the heat of the heavy air

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves piled high

Underneath a desert sky

Friends around the table tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Chorus

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew

Felix hit the switch and the record spun

Fifty pounds of peace and a lot of fun

(A lot of fun)

Crossing lines for the perfect high

Watching clouds move across the sky

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew

Verse 2

Badge and the uniform don't mean a thing

Hear the little bells in the chapel ring

Cops sitting down for a social puff

Realize quickly that we got enough

Senorita spinning in a scarlet gown

Turn the volume up while the sun goes down

Old faces grin through the herbal smoke

Trading memories and an inside joke

Alabama feels a thousand miles away

Planning on a long and a hazy stay

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves piled high

Underneath a desert sky

Friends around the table tonight

Everything is gonna be alright

Chorus

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew

Felix hit the switch and the record spun

Fifty pounds of peace and a lot of fun

(A lot of fun)

Crossing lines for the perfect high

Watching clouds move across the sky

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew

Bridge

Tied the bundles with a nylon rope

Traveling heavy on a mountain of hope

Five decades of the finest leaf

Simple transaction with a brief relief

Good times roll and the rhythm stays

Lost in the glow of the golden haze

Chorus

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew

Felix hit the switch and the record spun

Fifty pounds of peace and a lot of fun

(A lot of fun)

Crossing lines for the perfect high

Watching clouds move across the sky

Fifty pounds of gold from a man in blue

Doing business better than the people knew
