WILLIE NELSON - ACROSS THE BORDERLINE Lyrics

There's a land where I've been told every street is paved with goldAnd it's just across the borderlineWhen it's time to take your turn here's a lesson that you must learnYou could lose more than you'll ever findWhen you reach the broken promiseland every dream slips through your handYou'll know it's too late to change your mindCause you paid the price to come so far just to wind up where you areAnd you're still just across the borderlineUp and down the Rio Grande a thousand footprints in the sandReveal the secret no one can defineThe river flows on like a breath in between our life and deathWho's the next to cross the borderline[ guitar ]Hope remains when pride is gone and it keeps you moving onCalling you across the borderlineWhen you reach the broken promiseland...And you're still just across the borderline
