Across The Borderline Lyrics

Across The Borderline lyrics

There's a place that I've been told

 Every street is paved with gold

 And it's just across the borderline

 

 When it's time to take your turn

 There's a lesson you must learn

 You can lose more than you ever hope to find

 

 And when you reach the broken promised land

 Every dream slips through your hand

 Then you know that it's too late

 To change your mind

 'Cause you pay the price to come this far

 Just to wind up where you are

 And you're still just across the borderline

 

 Up and down the Rio Grande

 A thousand footprints in the sand

 They reveal the secrets no one can define

 

 The river flows on like a breath

 In between our life and death

 Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

 

 And when you reach the broken promised land

 Every dream slips through your hand

 And you'll lose more than you'll ever hope to find

 'Cause you pay the price to come this far

 Just to wind up where you are

 And you're still just across the borderline
