T here's a place where I 've been t old
E very street is p aved with g old
And it's just a cross the border l ine
A nd when it's time to t ake your t urn
Here's a lesson that y ou must l earn
Y ou could lose more t han you'll ever f ind
When you r each the b roken p romised land
A nd every d ream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too l ate to change your m ind
Cause y ou've paid the p rice to c ome so far
J ust to w ind up w here you are
And you're s till j ust across the borderli ne
Up and down the R io Gr ande
A thousand footprints i n the s and
Reveal a secret n o one can def ine
T he river flows on l ike a b reath
In between our l ife and d eath
W ho's the next to c ross the borderl ine
Hope remains w hen pride is g one
And it keeps you m oving o n
C alling you a cross the borderl ine
When you r each the b roken p romised land
A nd every d ream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too l ate to change your m ind
Cause y ou've paid the p rice to c ome so far
J ust to w ind up w here you are
And you're s till j ust across the borderli ne
A nd you're s till j ust across the borderli ne
Cause y ou've paid the p rice to c ome so far
J ust to w ind up w here you are
And you're s till j ust across the border l ine
A nd you're s till j ust across the border l ine
