arlo guthrie - when i get to the border lyrics
by richard thompson
greedy people take what’s mine
i can leave them all behind
and they can never cross that line
when i get to the border
saw-bones standin’ at the door
waiting till i hit the floor
he won’t find me anymore
when i get to the border
chorus:
monday morning, monday morning
closing in on me
i’m packin’ up and i’m a-runnin’ away
to where n-body thinks of me
if you see a box of pine
with a name that looks like mine
say i drowned in a barrel of wine
when i got to the border
when i got to the border
chorus
a one way ticket’s in my hand
headed for the chosen land
my troubles will all turn to sand
when i get to the border
a soft girl with yellow hair
waiting in that rockin’ chair
and if i’m weary i won’t care
when i get to the border
chorus
a dusty road that smells so sweet
paved with gold beneath my feet
and i’ll be dancing down the street
when i get to the border
when i get to the border
chorus
