SOUTH OF THE BORDER

Well, you can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border.
You can take me anywhere you want, honey,
But please don't take me south of the border...

I knew a girl down there some time ago,
She was going to have a baby just when I had to go,
I told her I did not love her, but her old man didn't wanna know,
He's still looking for me now...

You can take me anywhere you want, honey,
But please don't take me south of the border.
You can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border...

I got in trouble there once when I was doing smack,
The drug-squad in town, they were always on my back,
Then I passed the stateline with a kilo in my sack,
I ain't going back there again... oh, no...

You can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border.
You can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border...

I was in a club down there one night,
Some bozos got drunk and they started to fight,
They went for the guy at my left, but instead stabbed the guy at my right,
Well, I dropped everything and ran..., you know, man...

You can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border.
You can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border.
(It sounds like this...)

It seems to be too much trouble down there,
Whether it's the mafia, the cops or just some little girl,
I've got only one skin and I need it bad,
You can go down there on your own, if you really want...

So you can take me anywhere you want, baby,
But please don't take me south of the border.
You can take me anywhere you want, honey,
But please don't take me south of the border.
Not south of the border,
Not south of the border,
Not south of the border...
