[F] [Am] I can [C] sleep it off, sleep it [F] back to sleep I can be [Am] most anything I'm born
A long way [C] from the shade North side [F] of the moon
Down here [Am] only rich men lose their shirt
[C]
[F] [Am]
John Law [C] wakes to sleep The moaning [F] of the streets
But no one [Am] cares if he has done his job
[C] Postcards never came From [F] racetracks by the sea
From a gambler [Am] who says you are still my lucky [F] thing
[C] Border town, [A] [Am] there's been an accident [F] in border town
[Am]
[F] [C] Border town, [A] [Am] I am your accident [F] in border town
[Am]
Coyote [C] stirs the dreams And drives [F] his stolen jeep
And drives the [Am] king snake to his happy home
But I [C] stand in the clear The only [F] place he fears
The only [Am] place he'd never see me stand
[F] Border town, [A] there's been an accident [F] in border town
[C] Border town, I am your accident [F] in border town
[G] There ain't no seasons here But the freezing still appears
Every time [Am] I call [C]
[F] this home Can't [Am] be enough alone

Down here [Am] only taxi drivers [G] know [F] my name
