Across the Borderline

[Verse 1] There's a place where I've been told Every street is paved with gold And it's just across the borderline And when it's time to take your turn Here's a lesson that you must learn You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find [Chorus] When you reach the broken promised land And every dream slips through your hands Then you'll know that it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you've paid the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you'rе still just across the borderline [Verse 2] Up and down thе Rio Grande A thousand footprints in the sand Reveal a secret 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? [Chorus] And when you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips through your hands And you'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you pay the price to come so far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline Now you're still just across the borderline
