Borderline Lyrics

Borderline lyrics

Ridin' on to El Paso, followin' the rodeo 



When she stole my heart under a desert moon 



In a bordertown down in Mexico, where all the lonely cowboys go 



Stands a mission church at the end of a crowded street 



Was there I first caught sight of her alone, my heart began to stir 



She was kneeling there at the foot of a painted cross 







On the borderline, 



Crossing the heartlands again and again 



On the borderline, 



If lightning would strike me, I'd never know when 



My heart must always remain on the borderline 



Had to stay another day if only just to find a way to meet that girl who prays
by the lonesome grave 



They say she lost her only one to a battle of the blazing guns 



Now she cries each night and her tears stain the desert sand 



She vowed to never give her heart to someone else if they should part 



I'll never meet those eyes to tell her I love her so 







I'm on the borderline 



Crossing the heartlands again and again 



On the borderline 



If lightning would strike me I'd never know when 



My heart must always remain on the borderline
