There's a place so I've been told, where every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the border line
And when it's time to take your turn there's a lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find
And when you reach the broken promised land
And all your dream slips through your hands
And you know it's too late to change your mind
Because 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
Instrumental as per first verse
And when you reach the broken promised land
And all your dream slips through your hands
And you know it's too late to change your mind
Because 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 are life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline
And when you reach the broken promised land
And all your dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind
Because 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
Tell me who's next to cross the border line
