Showdown At The Border
His necktie is bright red
From lookin in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
Hes got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing
I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
The rendezvous was neutral
He dont want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,no way Ive had mine
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in texas fashion
I know that your oil is black
But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising
This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a
Nervous disposition
Tanned man from the f.e.d.s
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze
Showdown at the border

Showdown
Tom johnston
I never in my life met a girl so low
Sneakin out the back door of my house below
The fog is creepin in and the moon is full
I do believe she find what shes lookin for
And you know theres gonna be
Showdown
You better get ready
Showdown
Im gonna shoot for the heart
Showdown
Put your cards on the table
Were heading for the showdown tonight
That little girl treat me so mean
Wicked like the devil in tight blue jeans
Here I sit with my head hung low
Waiting for the woman come through that door
Showdown
You better get ready
Showdown
Im gonna shoot for the heart
Showdown
Put your cards on the table
Were heading for the showdown tonight
It wont be easy
Showdown
I said it wont be nice
Showdown
So you better get ready
Get ready for the showdown
Easy come and easy go
It used to work for me
But not any more
If she wants to spend her time with me
She better know what lovins for

Showdown
Its gonna happen
Before too long
Its gettin hard to tell
Whos right and whos wrong
I can see it comin
So I gotta be strong
Theres gonna be a showdown
Theres gonna be
Changes in this town
Were gonna see a showdown
A times gonna come
In the future when
A whole lotta people
Gonna think again
Were gonna keep right on
Till you break and then
Do you want to be out of touch
Only you can decide
For something different
Youre out of luck
cause on we will ride
On were gonna ride
Ride on, oh, ride on
Come on
The music explodes
Like a gun in your hand
Were gonna give you more
Than your head can stand
Then well sit down
And talk man to man
Theres gonna be a showdown
Were gonna see
Changes in this town
Were gonna see a showdown
Showdown ...

Art of Border
It could be a shield, it could be a cage
The safety sealant, the tying trap
The filter line, the block wall
Border, border, border
The sacred culture, the love crossing
The moral limit, the emotion frame
The rule control, the life permission
Border, border, border
The friction fight, the freedom cut
The bond mark, the fence crack
The counter side, the edge of touch
Border, border, border
Can you keep it as promise
Can you bridge it by hope
The song from deserted corner
Border, border, border

Showdown
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Cause its all in the timing
Who wins the fight
All around them the signs are clear
Its gone too far
Now the showdown is here
Showdown is here
Hungry dogs follow
And the vultures lead
Self-preservation
The original greed
But theres too much fire
For the perfect match
Now its just a matter of the first attack
Which one is right
Thats no longer clear
Anger has no light
When its covered with fear
Never turn your back
Thats always when youre caught
Youre a dead man on the rack
cause youre just too proud to stop
Absolute quiet is the final warning - showdown
Six minutes and the war is roaring -showdown
The voice of reason was buried this morning -showdown
Decision for death is the final story -showdown
We used to love it when they came on the scream
The good guys strong
And the bad guys mean
But the story has changed
Now the endings insane
The audience dies
In the final frame
Its the final game
Now both sides are gone
No funerals
No priests
No crowds singing songs
No heroes in the streets
Both sides were wrong
Just too stubborn to teach
And it was just too long
Before enough people had the courage to speak
And say
No showdown
No showdown
No showdown
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Will the ones who are left
Still say they are right?

Showdown
Yeah
Sometimes i just gotta have fun
Just something a girl's gotta do
Oh
Never thought I'd see you like this
You're looking good when you're half dressed
Just let me give you one last test
Is that sin?(no, no, noo)
Am I too hot for you though?
Did you check out my video?
There's some things you don't know
Like this
I dare you to stand in my way
Just give in
When you are ready to play
uh- Like this
CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Oh...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
Here comes the showdown
oh...
I don't really wanna be a tease
But would you undo my zipper please?
Uh-uh please don't talk
Listen
I'll let you touch me if you want
I'll see your body rise, rise
And when you come don't get too hot
Butterfly
I dare you to stand in my way
Just give in
When you are ready to play
uh-Like this
CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Oh...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
Here comes the showdown
Forget the tension when we fight
We'll make it up, turn down the lights
It's just a lovers' game we play
Yeah-eh-eh
After the screaming's at an end
Why don't we do it all again?
That's when the fun really begins
Oh-woah
CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
oh...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
why don't you..

Crossing The Border
Hey, take it and run, child
Ill ask you no questions
We traded our fortunes
Crossing the border
I hope you got lucky
You needed a change
I--i made it without you
Crossing the border
We were like a couple of wetbacks running
Standin on the banks of some dangerous river
Lookin into a brave new country
Risky business
Crossing the border
Ahhh, you--you doubled my chances
I--i sure do want your freedom
I--Ill never forget you
Crossing the border
Back when we were out there
Crossing the border
Layin it on the line

The Border
Written by russ ballard and dewey bunnell, 1983
Found on your move, america in concert (85), ventura highway and other favorites, the very best of america, encore: more greatest hits, premium gold collection, centenary collection, and highway
You must be lost in a faraway land
I searched forever your footprints in the sand
I feel you need me, I have to answer
That desperate call that I do not understand
A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Another dark night thinking alone
What couldve happened, am I just dreaming
It doesnt matter but theres one thing that I know
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
Id be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again youll be in my arms tonight
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
Id be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
Id be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border ...

Across The Border
Tonight my bag is packed
Tomorrow Ill walk these tracks
That will lead me across the border
Tomorrow my love and I will sleep neath auburn skies
Somewhere across the border
Well leave behind my dear
The pain and sadness we found here
And well drink from the bravos muddy water
Where the sky grows grey and wide
Well meet on the other side
There across the border
For you Ill build a house
High upon a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
And sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms neath open skies
Ill kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
Tonight well sing the songs
Ill dream of you my coraz_n
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday well drink from gods blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border

Johnny cool was the king
The leader of the boot boys
Hed never cause no trouble
In a rumble make some noise
He heard about some chick
And they she like to rock
He said come here honey
Let me see you lift up your frock
Theres gonna be a showdown
Miss lucy was a chick
He knew she like to ball
He said come on lucy
It doesnt matter to me at all
But miss lucy got a fella
With a flick knife in his hand
Johnny cool pulls a shotgun
The man is in command
Theres gonna be a showdown

King of hearts hes a lover
King of spades hes a brother
King of clubs makes a dollar
King of diamonds the wedding ring

Fast Cars
Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels
Big stars,
She knows them all so well
Lost loves,
Shes had more than just a few
Wrong moves,
She can afford more than you
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had, second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.
Headlines,
Shes been there once or twice
Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.

Hearts Grown Cold
Go out and have your habit,
Keep on takin it
Keep on fakin it
Youre the one whose heart grows cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
Go out and have your habit
Youre the one thats takin it
Youre the one thats fakin it
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hang on every breath you take
You dont need me like,
I need you
You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have,
That you still have your dreams.
Come down and tell me that its better
Youre the one whos choosin it
Youre the one whos losin it
Youre the one whos got no soul,
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.

Her personality made me [d7] want her

Showdowned
i was following you
holding a camera
and shooting an old
chinese man sitting
beside the door of
his chinatown store
i was expecting
something more
about a showdown
like that old man
defeating Bruce Lee
in a common
KungFu Film, or
him becoming a
flying tiger over
bamboo trees
showing his
magic prowess
against a lioness
chinese actress.
but i understand
completely there
is no such showdown
in chinatown
except the camera
shooting an old man
and then you go
back to your room
watching the sea.

Erase The Border
Erase the border
In the name of
Jagatara natha Jagannatha.
Erase the border
In the name of Christ.
Erase the border
In the name of Allah.
He is the One and the Same
Please do not go after
The nomenclature.
He is the Allmighty
And everything for us
We are all under
His control
We are all His sons
And daughters.

Pour Me Another Tequila Sheila
(Chorus)
Pour me another tequila, Sheila.
Take off that red satin dress.
'Cause I crossed the border,
And I beat the dealer for all of that gold in Juarez.
I feel like ol' Pancho Villa, Sheila,
And I've got the pesos to spend,
So pour me another tequila, Sheila.
And lay down and love me again.
No I can't tell you about it.
Don't mind the gun by my bed,
But I feel kind'a naked without it,
And it eases the fears in my head.
I never trusted in woman,
But Sheila I trust you tonight.
So pass me the salt and a lemon,
Bend down and blow out the light.
(Chorus)
Sheila I'm hearin' your heartbeat,
But I'm hearing footsteps outside.
The courtyard is crawlin' with them Federales
And Sheila, there's no place to hide,
but I don't know who could have tipped 'em,
nobody knew it but you,
but I never have trusted in woman,
Sheila, here's what I'm going to do.
(Chorus)
Yeah! Pour me another tequila,
I'm gonna put on your red satin Dress.
You put on my clothes, and you go face the dealer.
Sheila I wish you the best.
I never trusted in woman,
Sheila I trusted you tonight.
So pour me another tequila Sheila,
And I'll run for the border again.
Yeah! Pour me another tequila,
Sheila, as I ride for the border again.

Crisis King
If youre inclined to complain
It doesnt matter, hes got greater pain
Any crisis takes its toll
Then hell get down, let the bad times roll
Youll never go down fighting
Youll just go down
The crisis king is mighty
In a crisis showdown
The sole provision he needs to live
Is what he can take, hes got nothing
To give
Youll never go down fighting
Youll just go down
The crisis king is mighty
