Across the Borderline

Ry Cooder

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 one lesson that you must learn　　　 You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find 　　 When you reach the broken promised land　　　 Every dream slips through your hands　　　 Then you'll know　　　　　　　 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　　　 You're still just across the borderline
