about

Written about Atilla Ambrus a Transylvania professional hooky goalie by night and bank robber by day, the song was include on the CD companion to the audio book of the international best seller "The Ballad of the Whiskey Robber" by Julian Rubinstein.

lyrics

I was drinking whiskey in a Philadelphia bar
New Year's Eve 1998
While you were crying in a Transylvanian hotel
Head in your hands and worried about your fate

So, now brother get over the bordlerline
And if you make it please settle in the hills
You played a fair game and you beat the machine
But beware because this machine kills

I was swimming 100 feet from the shore
A pretty girl watched me for awhile
Her long blonde hair was flowing the breeze
And beautiful angel with a wounded smile

I see the laughter and the worry in your eyes
From the deep south to east of Hungary
As kindred spirits we struggled all along
I just hope your ending can be happy

Now its been about 15 years or so
Our journey has ended and I hope you're doing well
You're my hero that much I can say
Cause I loved that girl more than words can ever tell.

So, now brother get over the bordlerline
And if you make it please settle in the hills
You played a fair game and you beat the machine
But beware because this machine kills
