Well the law is out to get us
And they probably will
There’s a bunch from down south
And they shoot to kill
Women crying
Their husbands dead
Now there’s a prize on our heads
Yeah ,there’s a prize on our heads

But if we make it to the border
They’ll leave us alone
If we make it to the border
We’ll find a better home
If we run for the border now
We better run for the border now

When times are hard
The man gets tough
And I tell you boy
There’s plenty like us
Broken man
Making his last stand
With a gun in his hand
Yeah ,with a gun in his hand

But if we make it to the border
They’ll leave us alone
If we make it to the border
We’ll find a better home
If we run for the border now
We better run for the border now

They shot Jesse
In the back of the head
Young Billy too
Shot down dead
They’re cleaning up this country
And before they’re through
I know they’ll be coming for us too
Yeah, I know they’ll be coming for us too

But if we make it to the border
They’ll leave us alone
If we make it to the border
We’ll find a better home
If we run for the border now
We better run for the border now

There’s a time to live
And a time to die
When we’re gone
Who’ll wonder why
Was it hard times
Or is the worst yet to come
When a man has to live by the gun
Yeah ,when a man has to reach for his gun

But if we make it to the border
They’ll leave us alone
If we make it to the border
We’ll find a better home
If we run for the border now
We better run for the border now

They shot Jesse
In the back of the head
Young Billy too
Shot down dead
They’re cleaning up this country
And before they’re through
I know they’ll be coming for us too
Yeah, I know they’ll be coming for us too
