Capo 2

[Em]They met down in Brownsville in a [G]little border dive
[D]She was just looking for someone to dance with [C]he was just looking for a fight
[Em]They knew what they wanted but [G]that's about all they knew
[D]They liked to be with each other [C]just to see what the other would do

Chorus:
[G]They're walking [D]on the border
[Em]Love that wild s[C]ide
[G]They're walking [D]on the border
[Em]Ain't they feeling [C]fine

The sun fell on Loretta asleep in the back of the van
Jim smoked his Camel and stared across the Rio Grande
He said Hey wake up, Loretta, we've got some work to do
Gotta see a friend of a friend down in Vera Cruz

Chorus

Back in Brownsville, Texas, a week on down the road
They ran out of American money, ran out of Mexico
They were kissing on the corner, ain't it good to be alive
Then they crashed the door of the liquor store she handed him his forty-five

Chorus
