Hell couldn't be any hotter than Nogales on the Fourth of July
But two steps over the border there ain't nothin' gringo money won't buy
Tequila was flowin' like water met a lady I couldn't refuse
I woke up dead with a rag on my head and a bad case of bordertown blues
Bordertown woman let go of me
Let me go home to the girl I love in Tennessee
Bordertown woman give me my shoes
And let me get out of town I'm coming down with the blues
[ guitar ]
Nogales couldn't be any hotter than that look in Dolore's eyes
Love ain't never been any better wadn't nothin' than she wouldn't try
She knew I had run out of money and I was gettin' in over my head
So I gave her my watch and I carved one more notch on the foot of Dolore's bed
Bordertown woman let go of me...
Ah let me get out of town I'm coming down
With those mean old bordertown blues
