There's a land so i've been told Every street is paved with gold An' it's just across the borderline. An' when it's time to take your turn Here's a lesson you must learn You could lose more than you ever hoped to find. An' you reach the broken promised land Every dream slips through your hand An' you 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 An' you're still just across the borderline. Up an' 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 an' death Tell me who's next to cross the borderline. An' you reach the broken-promise land Every dream slips through your hand An' you 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 An' you're still just across the borderline.
