[Intro]
Am N.C. [Verse]
Am I work on the border Am I see what I see G I work on the border Am And it’s working on me [Verse]
Am I lie awake at night Am Knowing what I know G There’s a price on my head Am Of every border patrol [Verse]
Am Where the smugglers do business Am That’s where I make a stand G I know this old desert Am Like the back of my hand [Verse]
Am I see greed in the bushes Am I see snakes in the dark G Some are friends of my brothers Am Can’t you hear them dogs bark [Chorus]
F I come home to Maria C At the end of the day F In thе shape of a shadow G Holding demons at bay Am ‘It’s just a border’ thеy say [Verse]
Am It was Mexican soldiers Am Out of a black Humvee G With their guns to their shoulders Am Aimed at my partner and me [Verse]
Am As they drove away laughing Am But the message was clear G We don’t care about nothing Am But the money down here [Chorus] F I come home to Maria C In a bulletproof vest With the weight of the
F
whole wide world
G Barring down on my chest Am It’s just a border I guess [Bridge]
Em Am From the shacks and the shantys Em Am Come the hungry and poor Em Am Some to drown at the crosses F Some to suffer no more [Verse]
Am Guess you heard about Campos Am and Ramien G Both of them friends of mine Am Both good men [Verse]
Am They did one thing right Am And look what they got G Federal prison Am Where they’ve both gotta run [Chorus]
F I come home to Maria G Where else would I go F Cross the River to die by myself G Down In old Mexico Am It’s just the border y’know [Outro]
