Mason Jack and The Driftwood - Border Town

The summer rain belts down
Noreuil Park is flooded again
The Murray rises each day
Snaking through town the same old way
One last time through Dean Street lights
Driving past washed out vacant sites
Outlined stains remain
Of a time before it all got old

Border town
She's got her grip on me
Border town
Not what it use to be but
Walking away still isn't easy

Sun sets over Monument Hill
War is over but it stands there still
A reminder of those who didn't return
And to those who let the years burn
I was born and bred in Indigo
There's no more rodeos or carnival shows
There's one thing that's for sure
I'd love to stay but I have to go

Border town
She's got her grip on me
Border town
Not what it use to be but
Walking away still isn't easy

Midnight rain puts out the heat
Steam rises from the city streets
Drunks fall out of Soden's Doors
To forge ahead as they did before

There's a girl with blue jeans on
She's been singing the same old songs
I toss a coin in her case as I walk on by
I turn around and there's a tear in her eye
And she sang

Border town
She's got her grip on me
Border town
Not what it use to be but
Walking away still isn't easy

Border town
I'll be back some day
Border town
I wish that I could stay but
Walking away still isn't easy

Border town
I'll be back some day
Border town
I wish that I could stay cause
Walking away it isn't easy

Border town
She's got her grip on me
Border town
Not what it use to be but
Walking away it isn't easy
