The Border
Border Love: A Tale of Wild Romance and Dangerous Choices
Lyrics
They meet down in Brownsville, in a little border dive
They meet in Brownsville, a border town, in a small dive.
She was just looking for someone to dance with, he was
She is seeking a dance partner, while he is looking for a confrontation or fight.
Just looking for a fight
They both have clear desires, although limited in understanding.
They knew what they what they wanted, but that's about
They know what they want, but their understanding is limited.
All they knew
Their knowledge and awareness are confined.
They liked to be with each other, just to see what the
They enjoy each other's company, exploring the unknown.
Other would do
Curious about each other's reactions and behaviors.
They're walking on the border, love that wild side
They are on the border, embracing the thrill of the unknown.
They're walking on the border, ain't they feeling fine
Feeling exhilarated as they walk on the border.
The sun fell on Loretta, asleep in the back of the van
The sun sets on Loretta, who is asleep in the back of a van.
Jim smoked his Camel, stared across the Rio Grande
Jim smokes a cigarette and gazes at the Rio Grande.
He said "Hey wake up Loretta, we got some work to do
Jim wakes up Loretta; they have a task to do in Para crud (possibly a fictional place).
Got to see a friend of a friend, help a friend down in
They need to assist a friend of a friend in Para crud.
Para crud"
Heading to Para crud, a location with unspecified challenges.
They're walking on the border, love that wild side
They continue walking on the border, enjoying the thrill.
They're walking on the border, ain't they feeling fine
Feeling fine and alive as they walk on the border.
Back in Brownsville Texas, a week on down the road
Back in Brownsville Texas, a week later, they face financial challenges on both sides of the border.
They ran out of American money, ran out of Mexico
Running out of money in both the U.S. and Mexico.
There was kissing on the corner, ain't it good to be
Kissing on the corner, savoring the joy of being alive.
Alive
Expressing the excitement of being alive in the moment.
Then they crashed the door of the liquor store, she
They commit a crime by breaking into a liquor store, and she hands him a .45 caliber handgun.
Handed him his .45
Their actions take a dangerous turn.
They're walking on the border, love that wild side
They continue walking on the border, embracing the wild side of life.
They're walking on the border, ain't they feeling fine
Despite the risks, they feel alive and fine as they walk on the border.
Walking on the border, love that wild side
Reiteration of their journey on the wild side of the border.
Walking on the boarder ain't they feeling fine
Walking on the border, still feeling fine despite the challenges.
