South Of The Border - Lou Donaldson

South of the border
I know a freaky young lady
Name of Coc*ine Katie
She makes my temperature freeze
She′s got a blood red powder
When she gives a shout
She′ll bring you to your knees
Well we were being clever playing God games forever
She said she only meant to please
But I′m someone′s brother got a father and a mother
You know I′m going to have to leave
South of the border
I think you oughta
South of the border
I think you oughta
′cos you know you′re gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breahte
And you know there′s no reprieve
There′ll be tears on leaving
But there won′t be no grieving
′cos a city soon forgets
To me it′s magic
To the landlord it′s tragic
He′s got another room let
There′ll be the same old faces in the same old places
Where my youth was well misspent
But I tow the line and move the time
To a town called ′No Regrets′
South of the border
I think you oughta
South of the border
I think you oughta
′cos you know you′re gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there′s no reprieve
′cos you know you′re gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there′s no reprieve
