Border Lord |
| Darkness had us covered |
| When we split from Minnesota |
| In the morning |
| In the rain |
| Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake |
| Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo |
| Hangin' over in the brain |
| Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take |
| Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard |
| And leavin' every yesterday behind |
| Learning every bridge you cross |
| Is burning down before you’re off and running |
| Like the devil just in time |
| Breakin' any ties before they bind you |
| Taking any comfort you can find |
| Running like you’re running out of time |
| Take it all-take it easy-till it’s over-understanding |
| When you’re headin' for the border lord |
| You’re bound to cross the line |
| Good lookin' women every time you stumble |
| Waitin' there to catch you when you fall |
| Gettin' to you bad enough to let em |
| Keep you backin' up till just before your back’s against the wall |
| Breakin' any ties before they bind you |
| Takin' any comfort you can find |
| Runnin' like you’re runnin' out of time |
| Take it all-take it easy-till it’s over-understanding |
| When you’re headin' for the border lord |
| You’re bound to cross the line |
