Showdown at the Border

The necktie is bright red

From lookin' in one direction

No flower child in his bed

He's got oil well protection

Just had to be a blind dog

Chewin' on everything

Took a slice of the blackbird pie

She began her singin'

I know that your oil is black

But the dipstick is pearly white

Ten gallons on your head

That ain't what I need tonight

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

The rendezvous was neutral

He don't want no gossip headlines

Her Polaroid blackmail

He said, "No way, I've had mine"

Just too much for him to lose

Because of some Cuervo passion

Cold Colt 45 answered in Texas fashion

I know that your oil is black

But the dipstick is pearly white

Ten gallons on your head

That ain't what I need tonight

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Bright red went to his head

Tequila tension risin'

This is no business for the weak at heart

This is no business for those with a nervous disposition

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 buyin' off the squeeze

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border (This is no business for the weak at heart)

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border
