His necktie is bright red
From lookin in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed

Hes got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin on everything

Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing


I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head

That aint what I need tonight

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border


The rendezvous was neutral
He dont want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail

He said,no way Ive had mine
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some cuervo passion

Cold, cold forty-five, answered in texas fashion

I know that your oil is black

But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight


Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Bright red went to his head

Tequila tension rising

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 buying off the squeeze


Showdown at the border
