Showdown At The Border Lyrics - Malice In Wonderland - Nazareth

His necktie is bright red 

From lookin' in one direction 

No flower child in his bed 

He's got oil well protection 

Just had to be a blind dog 

Chewin' on everything 

Took a slice of the blackbird pie 

She began her singing 

I know that your oil is black 

But your dipstick is pearly white 

Ten gallons on your head 

That ain't what I need tonight 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

The 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 fashion 

I know that your oil is black 

But your dipstick is pearly white 

Ten gallons on your head 

That ain't what I need tonight 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Bright red went to his head 

Tequila tension rising 

This 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 disposition 

Tanned man from the F.E.D.'s 

Cool mohair buying off the squeeze 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

This is no business for the weak at heart 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border 

Showdown at the border
