Bordertown from Bordertown by The Piedmont Brothers Band

BORDERTOWN
Ron Martin and John M. Carter (BMI)

I was born in a border town
Just beyond the line
I grew up in a border town
Full of many lies

I was taught in a red brick school
The teacher taught me well
Said if I didn’t bend the rules
I wouldn’t go to hell

All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town

Now that I am an older man
And I’m looking back
I see that they didn’t mean no harm
Just try to cut some slack

I grew up in a Baptist Church
The Preacher talked to me
Said if I didn’t do unto others
They wouldn’t do that to me

All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town

Every time you think you’ve found
The answers to the dreams
So the winds of change would blow
Back to what it seems

Instr. break

I was born in a border town
Just beyond the line
I grew up in a border town
Full of many lies

All my life I’ve been running away
Up the land and down
Every time I’d go away
I’d return … border town …
Border town … border town
