Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Borderland Lyrics
Well, I headed back to the BorderlandWhen the home-guard went insane.No use trying to work with peopleWho can't tell fire from rain.The Judge had tried to hitch a rideBut I only took him half way.Friends are friends, but in the BorderlandYou can't be careful of what you say.The Sheriff sent me every warning he couldBut I knew more than he.My home is both sides of the BorderlandSo he knows where I'll be.The Businessman in a sleek sedanThought he could beat me here,But roads fade out before you reach the lineAnd the signposts disappear.So good to be home in the BorderlandWhere things are not what they seem.So good to be home in the BorderlandBetween the dawn and the dream.The brown-eyed girl from the battlegroundHad just met me half-way.The Border-Guard had let her passBut said you could not stay.She gazed upon the mountain aboveAnd she reached out her hand.The she let go with all her mightAnd loved the Borderland.So good to be home in the BorderlandWhere things are not what they seem.So good to be home in the BorderlandBetween the dawn and the dream
