BORDERLINE
BORDERLINE
COPYRIGHT 2004 JUSTIN MATHIAS
Well I've worked these fields for twenty years barely scratching out a life
Through droughts and floods with sweat and blood but I'm leaving here tonight
And it breaks my heart, tears it apart to leave my family here behind
But there's something for me, there's just got to be
Across the borderline
I've been told there's silver and gold for a man that works an honest day
And I've heard it said that everyone is fed, so tonight I'm gonna slip away
And even if I'm caught, God I pray that I'm not, aint nothin gonna change my mind
Cause there's something for me, theres just got to be
Across the border line
Borderline, barbed wire fences and bright search lights
Borderline, don't give a damn about wrong or right
Bottom line, I'm crossing you tonight
Borderline
(lead)
I'm filled with fear as I lay here in the darkness of the night
There's guards around, I can here the sound of blood pumping through these veins of mine
The spotlights have passed, it's time at last to stand up to the fright
Cause there's something for me, theres just got to be
Across the borderline
Borderline, barbed wire fences and bright search lights
Borderline, don't give a damn about wrong or right
Bottom line, I'm crossing you tonight
Borderline
Borderline
Borderline
