| 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 |
