Border Reiver

Southern-bound from Glasgow town, she's shining in the sun
My Scotstoun lassie, on the 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 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
It's knockin' 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
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
