Border Tonight Lyrics by Mipso

Dark Holler Pop

2014

[Verse 1]
Headed South towards New Orleans
I'm leavin' the long-leafed pines
I got my eye on a prize, four states wide
As free as the air is dry

[Verse 2]
Wind may be falling
Backroad's warm
But that's better than no way at all
'Cause I'll be moving tonight by the neon light
Headin' down to hear the call

[Chorus]
Nobody needs me here
I'm headed clear out of sight
Believe when I say "I'm leaving today"
Crossing the border tonight

[Verse 3]
I've been wasting away this tar-paper summer
Floatin' right into fall
Maybe a Tijuana winter and Baja spring
Will give me something to hold on

[Verse 4]
'Cause there's a lady in red
I can't get out of my head
She shines like the moonlight
A fine señorita, just as soon as I meet her
I'm betting on love at first sight

[Chorus]
Nobody needs me here
I'm headed clear out of sight
Believe when I say "I'm leaving today"
Crossing the border tonight

[Verse 5]
Back home the talk show hosts say "Just relax"
Don't listen to your heart, boy
Listen to the facts

[Bridge]
People always wondering how far is heaven
Dreaming of paradise
Well it's funny you ask
It's just a few tanks of gas
Will bring you halfway there by sunrise

[Chorus]
Nobody needs me here
I'm headed clear out of sight
Believe when I say "I'm leaving today"
Crossing the border tonight

[Outro]
Believe when I say "I'm leaving today"
Crossing the border tonight
