Seals, Dan - Bordertown Lyrics
In the quiet hours before the dawn
Buttons up his uniform
Takes out his badge and pins it on
For thirty years he's enforced the law
And he drives out on the Rio Grande
And on this side he takes his stand again
They won't get through this bordertown
He turns 'em back, he stands his ground
But still they come, because they know
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown
It's not his place to say what's fair
He's done his duty all these years
But then at dusk she wades across
And he sees the hope thats in her eyes
Child with dreams of a brand new life
It's not his job to say what's right or wrong
They won't get through this bordertown
He turns 'em back, he stands his ground
But still they come, because they know
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown
As night falls over Mexico
He waits there as she comes ashore
Finished, there's a moment of faith
He turns his back and he walks away

I tell you. None of Dan Seals songs are boring.
This song states so clearly what goes on at the Southern border even till this day. Truly a great song lives for ever
love it
Hats off to all the people who cross the border in search of a better life. And all those migrants who cross the Sahara and Atlantic to get into Europe. We pray someday their dreams will be fulfilled.
this song only went to #49 on the country charts in 1990!!!
Great song great guitar playing..anyone know the chords, cant seem to get them anywhere
brings back memories of being a kid and my grandmother would play this song, so glad to have found it on youtube.
I try to do justice to the music....sometimes and this fits well.
Excellent.
This is one of my top 10 Dan Seals tracks and so thought it deserved a video with lyrics and credits. I would love to do Soldier In The Rain with lyrics and credits but it is copyrighted by Warner Brothers. Thank you my Thai friend, always know YOU champion our Dan's music. Best wishes, Steve
Although this song has already been uploaded but yours is wonderful because of the lyrics and the details of the song. I am very happy to learn that you make more and more people appreciate Dan Seals. Dan Seals deserves admiration.—Your Thai friend
You really should have been a Dan Seals fan a long while ago, but yes this is a special track, the guitar and vocals just sublime. Always happy when you like my posts, have quite a good strike record when YOU are concerned. Much appreciated the comment. My Best to you, Steve
Just loooooved the Spanish guitar! I'm now a Dan seals fan because of you Steve.
Really like this one. Great voice.
Thanks,
Al
