Across The Border Line Lyrics

Willy Deville Across The Border Line

There's a place so I've been told,
where every street is paved with gold.
And it's just across the borderline.

And when it's time to take your turn
there's a lesson that you must learn.
You could lose more than you ever thought you'd find.

And when you reach the brok en promised land,
and all your dreams slip through your hands
and you know it's too late to change your mind.

Cause you've paid the price to come so far,
just to wind up where you are.
And you 're still just across the borderline.

Now up and down the Rio Grande,
a thousand footprints in the sand,
reveal a secr et no one can define.

The river rolls on l ike a breath,
in between our life and death.
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline.

CHORUS
