Across the Borderline - Allan Taylor, Barnaby Taylor, Dave Townsend

There’s a land so I’ve been told

Where every street is paved with gold

And it’s just across the borderline

When it’s time to take your turn

There’s a lesson you must learn

You will lose more than you’ll ever hope to find

When you reach the broken promise land

Every dream slips through your hand

And you’ll know it’s too late to change your mind

'Cause 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 the secret no one can define

The river rolls on like a breath

In between our life and death

Tell me who’s the next to cross the borderline

When you reach the broken promise land

Every dream slips through your hand

And you’ll know it’s too late to change your mind

'Cause you paid the price to come this far

Just to wind up where you are

And you’re still just across the borderline

And you’re still just across the borderline
