His necktie is bright red
  From lookin' in one direction
  No flowerchild in his bed
  He's got oil well protection
  Just had to be a blind dog
  Chewin' on everything
  Took a slice of the blackbird pie
  She began her singing
    I know that your oil is black
  But your dipstick is pearly white
  Ten gallons on your head
  That ain't what I need tonight
    Showdown at the border
  Showdown at the border
  Showdown at the border
    The rendezvous was neutral
  He don't want no gossip headlines
  Her polaroid blackmail
  He said,"No way I've had mine"
  Just too much for him to lose
  Because of some Cuervo passion
  Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion
    I know that your oil is black
  But the dipstick is pearly white
  Ten gallons on your head
  That ain't what I need tonight
    Showdown at the border
  Showdown at the border
  Showdown at the border
    Bright red went to his head
  Tequila tension rising
    This is no business for the weak at heart
  This is no business for those with a
  Nervous disposition
    Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s
  Cool mohair buying off the squeeze
    Showdown at the border
