Across the Borderline

There's a place where 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 Here's a lesson that you must learn You could lose more than you'll ever find When you reach the broken promise land When every dream slips through your hand You'll know it's too late to change your mind 'Cause you paid 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 footprints in the sand Reveal all the secret no one can define The river flows on like a breath In between our life and death Who's the next to cross the borderline Hope remains when pride is gone And it keeps you moving on Calling you across the borderline When you reach the broken promise land Every dream slips through your hand 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're still just across the borderline And you're still just across the borderline
