Вступление
JUST A BORDERTOWN
As recorded by Valerie Ponzio
(2022 release)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Cactus and tumbleweeds
Creosote on the breeze
Dirt roads running along the Rio Grande
Just a West Texas map dot
With a flat mesa backdrop
Whole lotta nothing, and then you drive right past
It may not look like much
But hey, I tell you what
[Chorus]
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep in this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray
And never be ashamed of
The people who raised me and it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
N.C. D
Than just a bordertown
[Verse 2]
Couldn’t wait to get gone
To the big world way beyond
Those Circle K Saturdays and Friday night lights
But this place wrote my story
It’s still writing it for me
And it’s gonna stay with me, for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep in this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray
And never be ashamed of
The people who raised me and it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
Than just a bordertown
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
It may not look like much
N.C.
But hey it's where I'm from
[Chorus]
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep in this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray
And never be ashamed of
The people who raised me and it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
N.C. D
Than just a bordertown
[Outro]
Just a bordertown
Just a bordertown
