"Down By The Border" lyrics - TONY JOE WHITE

Moonlight out on the water
The salty air touching my skin
Walking with a barefoot woman
On the Padre Island sand

She was golden brown
And her hair shined just like silver
The words left unspoken
But there was something strong there between us

The crowd down in Reynosa
Filled the arena with their cheers
The blood flowed in the hot afternoon
They sit and laugh and drink their beer

But her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border

Her face was just like stone
And she left her heart unguarded
And I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
