When I Get To The Border
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
()optional
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 nobody 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
