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 lever 
She needs the heel and toe 
She´s not too 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 
And 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 
It´s knocking out a living wage in 1969 
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 
And she´s an Albion, 
She´s an Albion.
