A rocker written by myself and long-time lyricist/pal Rich Wayland about the struggles of immigrants trying to flee violence.

lyrics

Border Town (Marinelli/Wayland)

V home in the rearview
long road to refuge
dreams dying hard down south of the borderline
gang wants my money
i can’t trust nobody
hope is a fading light just on the other side

C just beyond this border town
cross the river deep and wide
maybe we could find a better life
just another refugee
homeless but not hopelessly
got to get beyond this border town

V so many others
sisters and brothers
man at the desk says gotta take a number and wait
ain’t got no papers
there's ink on my fingers
feel so small maybe i could slip through the gates

Bridge
i know what you think but it's not like that
don't look at me i'm no stray cat
sorry but i got no plans on going back
