Looking back on my life
Every mile I've lived a hundred times
Still I feel you everywhere
You pull on my sleeve, beckon me back to there

Back to the border town
Back to where north meets south
Back to where I call home
In this border town

I have run far from here
Tried to forget what I held oh so dear
Why do I need you? Why do I care?
Why do my thoughts forever lead me there

Back to the border town
Back to where north meets south
Back to where I call home
Back to the border town
Where history tears us down
Back where my bloodline flows

Like the river that runs straight through Pettigo
I am north, I am south, I am without a home
Like the scar that I keep hidden under my shirt
This place knows how to beautifully hurt
In this border town
In this border town"
