Border Tonight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Headed South towards New Orleans I'm leavin' the long-leafed pines I got my eye on a prize, four states wide As free as the air is dry [Verse 2] Wind may be falling Backroad's warm But that's better than no way at all 'Cause I'll be moving tonight by the neon light Headin' down to hear the call [Chorus] Nobody needs me here I'm headed clear out of sight Believe when I say "I'm leaving today" Crossing the border tonight [Verse 3] I've been wasting away this tar-paper summer Floatin' right into fall Maybe a Tijuana winter and Baja spring Will give me something to hold on [Verse 4] 'Cause there's a lady in red I can't get out of my head She shines like the moonlight A fine señorita, just as soon as I meet her I'm betting on love at first sight [Chorus] Nobody needs me here I'm headed clear out of sight Believe when I say "I'm leaving today" Crossing the border tonight [Verse 5] Back home the talk show hosts say "Just relax" Don't listen to your heart, boy Listen to the facts [Bridge] People always wondering how far is heaven Dreaming of paradise Well it's funny you ask It's just a few tanks of gas Will bring you halfway there by sunrise [Chorus] Nobody needs me here I'm headed clear out of sight Believe when I say "I'm leaving today" Crossing the border tonight [Outro] Believe when I say "I'm leaving today" Crossing the border tonight
