Well,I lefEt Houston, Texas on a Gulf Coast hurricane.
I was blowed down by a tornado, washed up by the rain.
Well, my pAappy wasn't happy with me. He told me to go.
So I sEtole my daddy's Cadilac, headed on down the road.
Well, I B7had a grin from ear to ear with each and every mile.
I was heAaded for the border, man, and I was Ggoin' down in stEyle.
Well, EI hit Corpus Christi and the wind was at my back.
I drove them women crazy in my daddy's Cadilac.
Yeah, I'd cAruise 'em down that boulevard, treated them like queens.
I tEook 'em all the places that they wanted to be seen
And wB7hen I had to leave 'em, I'd tell 'em with a smile,
"I'm hAeaded for the border, man, and I'm Ggoin' down in sEtyle."
Well, you've goAtta take your chances if they ever come along.
Just clEose your eyes and listen to the great big engine whine.
And Ait don't really matter whether you are right or wrong
Cause B7when you cross the border, man, you leave this world behind.
I stEomped down on the peddle, set the cruise control.
Five-hundred ragin' horses beyond by the state parol.
Lord, the sAirens were ascreamin', lights were flashin' red.
There's a dEozen more awatin' at the roadblock up ahead.
As I scB7attered them like chickens, I heard one of 'em cry,
"He's hAeaded for the border, man, and he's Ggoin' down in sEtyle."
EAEB7AGE
Yeah, wAhen you cross the border, you ain't never comin' back.
Yeah, and tEhere ain't no redemption when the cops are on your tail.
When the clAosest thing to Heaven is a great big Cadilac,
The cB7ity lights of Houston, or the firey gates of Hell.
EWell, they nailed me on the hill that overlooks the Rio Grande.
And I was feelin' just like Moses lookin' on the Promised Land.
Well, they hAauled me back to Houston, throwed me in the jail.
Well, my mEama started cryin' and my daddy paid the bail.
Well, I'm sB7orry not there to hear the outcome of my trial...
I'm hAeaded for the border, man, and I'm Ggoin' down in sEtyleA. E A E
