She & Him
When I Get to the Border (Richard and Linda Thompson cover)
Greedy people take what's mineI can leave them all behindThey can never cross that lineWhen I get to the borderSawbones standing at the doorWaiting until I hit the floorHe won't find me anymoreWhen I get to the borderMonday morning, monday morning Closing in on meI'm packing up and I'm running away To where nobody thinks of meIf you see a box of pine With a name that looks like mine Say I drowned in a barrel of wineWhen I got to the borderWhen I got to the borderA one-way ticket's in my handHeaded for the chosen landMy troubles will all turn to sandWhen I get to the borderSongtexteSalty girl with yellow hair Waiting in that rocking chairAnd if I'm weary I won't careWhen I get to the borderMonday morning, monday morningClosing in on meI'm packing up and running away To where nobody thinks of meA dusty road that smells so sweetPaved with gold beneath my feetAnd I'll be dancing down the street When I get to the borderWhen I get to the border
