[Verse]
D A D
There's a place, so I've been told
G A D
Every street is paved with gold
Bm G A
And it's just across the borderline
D A D
And when it's time to take your turn
G A D
There's a lesson that you must learn
D A D
You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find
[Chorus]
G A D
And when you reach that broken promised land
G A D
And all your dreams slip though your hand
Bm G A
You have learned it's too late to change your mind
G A D
Cause you pay the price to come so far
G A D
Just to wind up where you are
D A D
And you're still just across the borderline
[Verse]
D A D
Up and down The Rio Grande
G A D
A thousand foot prints in the sand
Bm A
Reveal a secret no one can define
D A D
The river rolls on like a breath
G A D
In between our life and death
D A D
Tell me who is next to cross that borderline
[Chorus]
G A D
And when you reach that broken promised land
G A D
And all your dreams slip though your hand
Bm G A
You'll know it's too late to change your mind
G A D
Cause you pay the price to come so far
G A D
Just to wind up where you are
D A D
And you're still just across the borderline
