lyrics

ACROSS THE BORDERLINE Written by Ry Cooder (BMI), John Hiatt (BMI), and James Luther Dickinson (BMI), USI B Music Publishing

There’s a land so I’ve been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it’s just across the borderline
(Just across the borderline)

And when it’s time to take your turn
Here’s a lesson you must learn
You will lose more than you’ll ever hope to find

And when you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you’ll know it’s too late to change your mind

‘Cos you paid 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
(Just across the borderline)

The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Now tell me who will cross the borderline

And when you reach the broken promise land
Every dream slips through your hands
And you’ll know it’s too late to change your mind

‘Cos you paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you’re still just across the borderline
