The Border War Blame the coal, blame the wind Blame energy drinks with alcohol added in Ten months later put to rest You can hang on to my old cowboy hat, I guess It always fit you best Last year feels like a past life Now you and your school friends sneer as you pass my American truck It's just some redneck roaming And guys like that should drive back to Wyoming alone My kid's mother's a pain in the ass Fourteen more years until I've paid for my past She didn't lie to me But she never told the truth about Laramie Or that high plains gravity Last year feels like a past life Now you and your school friends sneer as you pass my American truck It's just some redneck roaming And guys like that should drive back to Wyoming alone When we started and we talked in your apartment You said that you were scared 'cause the folks down here are different But when your whole state only has five hundred thousand A big old town like this gets to feeling sorta crowded Then I told you 'bout my kid and that's the last we spoke about it Ice and sleet on I-80 It'll take more than a snow fence to get rid of me Windshield's broken but I'm alright I'll heal on up and drive back down next Friday night To drink those city lights Last year feels like a past life Now you and your school friends sneer as you pass my American truck It's just some redneck roaming And guys like that should drive back to Wyoming alone
