Might wrap the day with this cover from our Bobby . . . .I first heard this from Ry Cooder of course and that it is about the US/Mexico border speaks volumes to me (like Deportee, Do Re Mi and a million other songs) but this one always stuck with me. Written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, and Jim Dickinson. It is a remake of a song by Freddy Fender from the Jack Nicholson film 'The Border' so its origins are rather complex but Ry’s I feel is definitive although I really like Freddy doing it too!
