Electric Light Orchestra (elo) Across The Border Lyrics

Across The Border Lyrics

I've been workin' so hard, baby,

Tryin' to get to you.

I'm gonna be
there soon because



In the heat of the day many miles away

When the sun is beating down upon the main street

I'll be waiting here
at the station,

I gotta move down the line.

They'll be dancin' and
singin' and doin' their thing

And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until
the day is done.

You know i got to make the deadline.



I
gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.

If i don't get to the
border then i'll write.



The mardi gras will be blowing strong

And the people dancing all across the city.

I'm leaving here
tonight,

I gotta move down the line.

I'm gonna catch a ride on the
nine-o-five,

I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,

Maybe three or four hundred miles.



I gotta get that southbound
train tonight, ooh.

If i don't get to the border then i'll write.



When the wind is blowing softly

Through the streets of a little
town and the music's playin

You're waiting somewhere over the horizon.



I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.

If i don't get
to the border then i'll write.
