A D A TONIGHT MY BAG IS PACKED – TOMORROW I’LL WALK THESE TRACKS E ATHAT WILL LEAD ME ‘CROSS THE BORDER D ATOMORROW MY LOVE AND I – WILL SLEEP ‘NEATH THE AUBURN SKIES E ASOMEWHERE ACROSS THE BORDER

D EWE’LL LEAVE BEHIND MY DEAR – THE PAIN AND SADNESS WE FOUND HERE A DAND WE’LL DRINK FROM THE BRAZOS MUDDY WATERS A D AWHERE THE SKY GROWS GRAY AND WIDE – WE’LL MEET ON THE OTHER E ASIDE – THERE ACROSS THE BORDER

D AFOR YOU I’LL BUILD A HOUSE – HIGH UP ON A GRASSY HILL E A SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE BORDER D A WHERE PAIN AND MEMORY – PAIN AND MEMORY HAVE BEEN STILLED E ATHERE ACROSS THE BORDER
