Lyric Border Town Road

(Wally Wilson/Paul Nelson/Larry Boone)

She was taught the world was small
That it s all dirt and dust
Sunday school and country songs
Things a girl can trust

She ll learn her lesson well
She played her part
But those back roads couldn t give
What was missing in her heart

Chorus:
You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there s only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up its still the same old sun
Cuz the moon don t hang out on Border Town Road

She thinks of all the reasons
Why she outta stay right here
A river that runs deep and wide
A sky thats always clear
She knows she can live her life
Just to watch those seasons change
What s she supposed to do with those relentless dreams

(Repeat Chorus)

In her room she packs her clothes
To the glow of a distant light
She knows the moon is shining
Somewhere on the other side

(Repeat Chorus)
