Eric Burdon Over The Border
I closed the door on a Hong Kong man
He made his living selling heroin
I checked the cactus, it don't need no water
TV set, it was quite a slaughter
Slam the hood down on the Plymouth Roadrunner
Put the cigar out, I don't like the smell or the
flavour
Check your mirror and then you check your radiator
Chorus
Where we going, where we going
Over the border
I caught a plane out of Cincinnati
He was a third generation pimp kind of pretty
He laughed as he asked me for a favour
I put a 9mm in his ear and said I see you later
Slam the hood down ...
Chorus
All you really needed was to be somebody
They took the kindness from your eyes
That's the breaks, how do you like them
30 years on the highway running
I've got a trunk full of guns, no love and no woman
So I stepped into this bar in downtown Miami
There is a cocaine czar making lots of money
Check the safety on both your ouzis
30 seconds later it's kind of gooey
Slam the hood down ...
Chorus (2x)
