His necktie is bright red
From lookin in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
Hes 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 aint what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
The rendezvous was neutral
He dont want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,no way Ive 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 aint 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

Nazareth è un gruppo rock scozzese formatosi a Dunfermline nel 1969 dalle ceneri della band semi-professionale The Shadettes. Il gruppo, composto da Dan McCafferty (voce), Manny Charlton (chitarra), Pete Agnew (basso) e Darrell Sweet (batteria), ha raggiunto il successo dopo essersi trasferito a Londra e aver firmato un contratto discografico con Pegasus Records. Il loro album di debutto omonimo è uscito nel 1971, seguito da *Exercises* nel 1972. È stato il terzo album, *Razamanaz*, pubblicato all'inizio del 1973, a portare i primi singoli in classifica, "Broken Down Angel" e "Bad Bad Boy", entrambi entrati nella Top Ten britannica. Nazareth ha continuato a pubblicare musica di successo negli anni '70 e '80, con album come *Loud 'n' Proud* (1973) e *Hair of the Dog* (1975). Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da un mix di hard rock, blues e influenze progressive. Tra i brani più famosi del gruppo figurano "Love Hurts", "This Flight Tonight" e "The Party Don't Start 'Til I Walk In".

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
