Gordon Lightfoot - Borderstone Lyrics
The night is as black as the coal dust on the tracksUp to the east day is dawningFrom time to time I get women on my mindIm a son of a gunBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightThe train that Im on is a hundred boxcars longSo I dont sleep through to the morningThats some chilly wind in this gondola Im inI wish I had a glass of beerBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightThe boardinghouse reach is a thing no school can teach youI confess Ive been outfumbledAnd the sound of the beans boiling through the evergreensSure do please a hungry manBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightThe sound of the wheels rebounds across the fieldsIm a name with no numberAnd so I guess Id be drifting more or lessBut still its not meant to beBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonightBorderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonightBorderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
