Young Paul - Across The Borderline Lyrics

There's a place that 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
There's a lesson you must learn
You can lose more than you ever hope to find

And when you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hand
Then you know that it's too late
To change your mind
'Cause you pay 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
They reveal the secrets no one can define

The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline

And when you reach the broken promised land
Every dream slips through your hand
And you'll lose more than you'll ever hope to find
'Cause you pay the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
