Nazareth - Showdown at the Border

His necktie is bright red From lookin in one direction No flowerchild in his bed Hes 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 aint what I need tonight Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Showdown at the border The rendezvous was neutral He dont want no gossip headlines Her polaroid blackmail He said,no way Ive 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 aint 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 (cleminson) (copyright 1980 nazsongs ltd.)
