there s a land where 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 here s a lesson that you must learn you can lose more than you ll ever find when you reach the broken promise land every dream slips through your hand you ll know it s too late to change your mind because you paid the price to come to 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 flows on like a breath in between our life and death who s the next to cross the borderline hope remains when pride is gone and it keeps you moving on calling you across the borderline and you re still just across the borderline
