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
