Artist/Band: Nazareth
Lyrics for Song: Showdown At The Border
Lyrics for Album: Back To The Trenches [1984]



His necktie is bright red

From lookin' in one direction

No flowerchild in his bed

He's got oil well protection

Just had to be a blind dog

Chewin' on everything

Took a slice of the blackbird pie

She began her singing



I know that your oil is black

But your dipstick is pearly white

Ten gallons on your head

That ain't what I need tonight



Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border



The rendezvous was neutral

He don't want no gossip headlines

Her polaroid blackmail

He said,"No way I've had mine"

Just too much for him to lose

Because of some Cuervo passion

Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion



I know that your oil is black

But the dipstick is pearly white

Ten gallons on your head

That ain't what I need tonight



Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border

Showdown at the border



Bright red went to his head

Tequila tension rising



This is no business for the weak at heart

This is no business for those with a

Nervous disposition



Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s

Cool mohair buying off the squeeze



Showdown at the border
