Run For The Border

A hundred dollars over the border A thousand miles out of my mind Oh what was I thinking Thinking I could drink all that Mexican wine And who in the world is this woman I've never seen her before But I've got a feeling that she's got a husband Someone just kicked down the door Better run for the border He's never gonna understand Better find a place to hide On the other side of the Rio Grande Jose he's tall dark and handsome She said as she reached for her cloths But he's mean as a snake When his woman you take right from under his nose I said this is a great time to tell me She said I thought he was in jail Well I'm Jose's wife Jose's got a knife And Jose is hot on your trail Better run for the border Jose he is a dangerous man Better find a place to hide On the other side of the Rio Grande So I ran through the streets of Laredo Naked as the day I was born People were staring and clapping And laughing and honking their horns As I passed a church on the corner I thought about stopping to pray Then a voice from the blue said I'll watch over you But we'd better stay ahead of Jose Better run for the border Jose he is a dangerous man Better find a place to hide On the other side of the Rio Grande Better run for the border Jose will never understand Better find a place to hide On the other side of the Rio Grande
