JUST ANOTHER BORDER

Just another border.. just like any other
From Africa to India they keep us from each other
Oh Kathleen ‘maith an cailin’
Drove us down to Mexico to a place we’d never been

Country music on the radio, old songs we used to know
Like ‘Vaya Con Dios’ and ‘Tell Him He’ll Have To Go’
Through Coachella valley along highway one eleven
Migrant workers eating dust on that long highway to heaven

Then on down to Mexicali where painted Madonnas
Make faded promises about better tomorrows
In that bitter vale of tears the faithful toil and pray
And keep right on believing there’ll come a better day

But it’s just another border, just like any other
From Africa to India they keep us from each other
Oh Kathleen I’m glad these eyes have seen the sorry truth that gives the lie
To ‘far off fields being green’

Oh Kathleen ‘maith an cailin’
Drove us down to Mexico to a place we’d never been
Kathleen drove us down to Mexico to a place we’d never been
