Lyrics The Border

I work on the border

I see what I see

I work on the border and it's workin' on me

I lie awake at night knowin' what I know

There's a price on the head of every border patrol

Where the smugglers do business that's where I make a stand

I know this old desert like the back of my hand

I see greed in the bushes

I see snakes in the dark

Some are friends of my brothers

Can't you hear them dogs bark

I come home to Maria at the end of the day

In the shape of a shadow holdin' demons at bay

It's just a border they say

It was Mexican soldiers out of a black Humvee

With their guns to their shoulders aimed at my partner and me

As they drove away laughin' but the message was clear

That we don't care about nothin' but the money down here

I come home to Maria in a bulletproof vest

With the weight of the whole wide world bearin' down on my chest

It's just a border I guess

From the shacks and the shanties come the hungry and poor

Some to drown at the crossin'

Some to suffer no more

Guess you heard about Campos and Ramien

Both of them friends of mine

Both good men

They did one thing right and look what they got

Federal prison where they're both gonna rot

I come home to Maria

Where else would I go

Cross the river to die by myself

Down In old Mexico

It's just the border you know
