His necktie is bright red
From lookin' in one direction
No flower child in his bed
He's got oil well protectionJust had to be a blind dog
Chewin' on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singingI know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonightShowdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the borderThe rendezvous was neutral
He don't want no gossip headlines
Her Polaroid blackmail
He said,"No way I've had mine"Too much for him to lose
Because of some Cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five
Answered in Texas fashionI know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonightShowdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the borderBright red went to his head
Tequila tension risingThis is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a nervous disposition
This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a nervous dispositionTanned man from the F.E.D.'s
Cool mohair buying off the squeezeShowdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the borderThis is no business for the weak at heartShowdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the borderShowdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
