| (ry cooder/john hiatt/james dickinson) | |
| There's a place where i've been told | |
| Every street is paved with gold | |
| And it's just across the borderline | |
| And when it's time to take your turn | |
| Here's one lesson that you must learn | |
| You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find | |
| When you reach the broken promised land | |
| And every dream slips through your hands | |
| Then you'll know that 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 | |
| Up and down the rio grande | |
| A thousand footprints in the sand | |
| Reveal a secret no one can define | |
| The river flows on like a breath | |
| In between our life and death | |
| Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline | |
| En la triste oscuridad (in the sad darkness) | |
| Hoy tenemos que cruzar (today we have to cross) | |
| Este r甐 que nos llama m嫳 all?(this river which calls us further away) | |
| But hope remains when pride is gone | |
| And it keeps you moving on | |
| Calling you across the borderline | |
| When you reach the broken promised land | |
| Every dream slips through your hands | |
| And you'll know it's too late to change your mind | |
| 'cause you pay the price to come so far | |
| Just to wind up where you are | |
| And you're still just across the borderline | |
| Now you're still just across the borderline | |
| And you're still just across the borderline |
