Border Lord

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning In the rain Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo Hangin' over in the brain Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard And leavin' every yesterday behind Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and running Like the devil just in time Chorus: Breakin' any ties before they bind you Taking any comfort you can find Running like you're running out of time Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding When you're headin' for the border lord You're bound to cross the line Good lookin' women every time you stumble Waitin' there to catch you when you fall Gettin' to you bad enough to let em Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall Chorus: Breakin' any ties before they bind you Takin' any comfort you can find Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding When you're headin' for the border lord You're bound to cross the line
