Border Lord

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota
In the morning, in the rain
Like his eyes feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was humming to a half forgotten nickel hanging over
In the brain
Time and time been thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living, I am loving hard
Then leaving every yesterday behind ya
Burning every bridge you cross is burning down before you're off
Been running like the devil just in time

Breaking 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
'Til it's over
Understanding, when you're heading for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line

Good looking women every time you stumble
Waiting there to catch you when you fall, when you fall
Get into you bad enough to let 'em keep you backing up
'Til just before your back's against the wall

Breaking any ties before they find you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all, take it easy
'Til it's over
Understanding, when you're heading for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Oh
Across the line
Across the line
Across that line
Oh, yeah
