The Blasters são uma típica banda de rock and roll. Mais particularmente, com uma grande influência do rockabilly e, naturalmente, rhythm and blues rock. Californianos, liderados pelos irmãos Phil e Dave Alvin (este, em profícua carreira solo após a banda se desfazer no final dos anos 80). Phil 'tirou' o nome da banda de um grupo que ele supunha chamar-se Blues Blasters (que apoiavam Joe Turner). Porém, nascidos dentro do movimento punk no final dos anos 70, herdaram alguma infuência daí também.

GC One more midnight, her man is still gone GCG The nights move too slow GC She tries to remember the heat of his touch CGDG While listening to the Border Radio
She calls toll-free and requests an old song Something they used to know She prays to herself that wherever he is, He's listening to the Border Radio
chorus: C "This song comes from nineteen sixty-two C Dedicated to a man who's gone C Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico GDG This is the Border Radio GDG This is the Border Radio"
She thinks of her son, asleep in his room And how her man won't see him grow She thinks of her life and she hopes for a change While listening to the Border Radio
(repeat chorus)
They play her tune but she can't concentrate She wonders why he had to go One more night and her man is still gone She's listening to the Border Radio
