Across the Boderline

There's a land, so 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 one lesson that you must learn You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find When you reach the broken promised land And every dream slips through your hands Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you'll 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 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 When you reach the broken promised land When every dream slips through your hands Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you'll pay the price to come this far Just to wind up where you are And you're still just across the borderline And you're still just across the borderline
