I thought US Border News could use a theme song, so (lacking sufficient musical talent) I turned to AI.

Ok, so it’s no “Smuggler’s Blues” but I don’t hate it.
What do you think? (Feel free to share your opinion in comments!)
(I’ve included lyrics at the bottom of this post if you’d like to sing along)

(“Borderline Tales” lyrics)
Down by the river where the shadows creep
Stories of the night run dark and deep
A truck rolls by with secrets to hide
Smuggling dreams across the borderline
[Chorus]
Borderline tales the whispers fly
Truths and lies in the desert sky
With every mile the stakes grow high
Borderline tales where hopes collide
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo in the moonlit sand
Carrying burdens with trembling hands
Under the stars the coyotes call
Risking it all for a chance to stand tall
[Chorus] Borderline tales the whispers fly
Truths and lies in the desert sky
With every mile the stakes grow high
Borderline tales where hopes collide
[Bridge]
The law keeps watch with a wary eye
Dreams and schemes both live and die
A hidden dance in the dead of night
Between the shadows and the searchlight
[Verse 3]
Families wait with a prayer in their chest
Holding to hope and fearing the rest
The news rolls in like a restless tide
Another chapter in the fight to survive
