Well, I headed back to the borderland   When the home-guard went insane   No use trying to work with people   Who can't tell fire from rain      The judge had tried to hitch a ride   But I only took him half way   Friends are friends but in the borderland   You can't be careful of what you say      The sheriff sent me every warning he could   But I knew more than he   My home is both sides of the borderland   So he knows where I'll be      The businessman in a sleek sedan   Thought he could beat me here   But roads fade out before you reach the line   And the signposts disappear      So good to be home in the borderland   Where things are not what they seem   So good to be home in the borderland   Between the dawn and the dream      The brown-eyed girl from the battleground   Had just met me half-way   The border-guard had let her pass   But said you could not stay      She gazed upon the mountain above   And she reached out her hand   The she let go with all her might   And loved the borderland      So good to be home in the borderland   Where things are not what they seem   So good to be home in the borderland   Between the dawn and the dream
