Border Reiver
Mark Knopfler
Southern bound from Glasgow town, she's shining in the sun
My Scotstoun lassie, on a border run
We're whistling down the hillsides and tearing up the climbs
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border Reiver
Three hundred thousand on the clock and plenty more to go
Crash box and leaver she needs the heel and toe
Shes not to cold in winter but she cooks me in the heat
I'm a six foot driver but you can't adjust the seat
In the Border Reiver
Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
The ministry don't worry me my paperwork's alright
They can't touch me, I got my sleep last night
Its knocking out a living wage in nineteen sixty nine
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border reiver
Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise, that's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
