There's a place where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the border line
And 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 promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then 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 border line
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
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 promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then 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 border line
And you're still just across the border line
Cause you've paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the border line
And you're still just across the border line
