What Are The Lyrics For Border Town By Gretchen Peters?
Carmelita was a street angel but she kept her halo hid
Never learned to read or write so well, she was just a farmer's kid She took communion at the age of twelve, she wore a cross of wood She heard the clanging of the mission bell And she vowed that she'd be good But the world goes round and it's hard enough to stand your ground There's always someone tryin' to keep you down in a border town Mamacita said you can't go down, stay away from the white man's world She drew the line at the edge of town for her little, dark-haired girl But Carmelita she had other plans and her life had just begun She ran away with a black-eyed man and he left her with a black-eyed son But the world goes round and it's hard enough to stand your ground There's always someone tryin' to keep you down in a border town Carmelita, now she's settlin' down, she's not so free and wild She rides a bus, all the way across town to love somebody else's child Shows up each morning, right on time and at six o'clock, she's gone She keeps her distance and she toes the line 'Cause she knows where it's been drawn But the world goes round and it's hard enough to stand your ground There's always someone tryin' to keep you down in a border town |
