Borderland Lyrics - Singles - Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Well, I headed back to the borderland 

When the home-guard went insane 

No use trying to work with people 

Who can't tell fire from rain 

The judge had tried to hitch a ride 

But I only took him half way 

Friends are friends but in the borderland 

You can't be careful of what you say 

The sheriff sent me every warning he could 

But I knew more than he 

My home is both sides of the borderland 

So he knows where I'll be 

The businessman in a sleek sedan 

Thought he could beat me here 

But roads fade out before you reach the line 

And the signposts disappear 

So good to be home in the borderland 

Where things are not what they seem 

So good to be home in the borderland 

Between the dawn and the dream 

The brown-eyed girl from the battleground 

Had just met me half-way 

The border-guard had let her pass 

But said you could not stay 

She gazed upon the mountain above 

And she reached out her hand 

The she let go with all her might 

And loved the borderland 

So good to be home in the borderland 

Where things are not what they seem 

So good to be home in the borderland 

Between the dawn and the dream
