Across The Borderline
John Hiatt, Flaco Jiménez
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a place, so 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 There's a lesson that you must learn You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find. And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand You have learned 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. Up and down the rio grande A thousand foot prints in the sand Reveal a secret no one can define The river rolls on like a breath In between our life and death Tell me who is next to cross that borderline. And when you reach that broken promised land And all your dreams slip though your hand 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.
