Border Patrol

Written by Bob Bortnick, Mark Linkous and Eric Williams

LYRICS
I can’t afford no Cadillac
And I’m much too young for a cardiac
I lost my girl down in Mexico
It was just a little kiss at the bolero
She’s all dressed up now
She’s all messed up now
Met her at the rodeo mixed up in the trash
Stranded alley cat’s gonna scratch my back
Moonlight drive down south of the border
I ain’t gonna miss her but I know that I oughta
She’s all dressed up now
She’s all messed up now
I’m not down or on my knees
I’m not dying, baby please
Bet you’re out there getting drunk
Just don’t let your ship get sunk
Yeah I can’t afford no Cadillac
And I’m much too young for a heart attack
I lost my girl down in Mexico
It was just a little kiss at the bolero
She’s all dressed up now
She’s all messed up now
Oh she’s all dressed up now
She’s all messed up now
