Border Lord (Kris Kristofferson)

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning in the rain,
Black as I was feelin' and the street was slick and shiny as a snake,

Each of us was a-hummin' to a half forgotten echo hangin' over in the brain,
Tappin' time and thinkin' of the time we never had the time to take.

Losin' to the rising cost of livin' high and lovin' hard and leavin' every yesterday behind,
Learnin' every bridge you cross is burnin' down before you're off and runnin' like the devil's just in time.

Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all - take it easy - til it's over - understandin'
When you're headin' for the border lord you're bound to cross the line.

Good lookin' women every time you stumble waitin' there to catch where you fall,
Gettin' to bad enough to let'em keep you backin' up til just before you're backs against the wall.

Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all - take it easy - til it's over - understandin'
When you're headin' for the border lord you're bound to cross the line.
