[Em]They met down in Brownsville in a [G]little border dive
[D]She was just looking for someone to dance with [C]he was just looking for a fight

[G]They're walking [D]on the border
[Em]Love that wild s[C]ide
[G]They're walking [D]on the border

“Gotta see a friend of a friend down in Vera Cruz “
Chorus

They ran out of American money, ran out of Mexico
They were kissing on the corner, ain't it good to be alive
Then they crashed the door of the liquor store she handed him his forty-five
