C 2 3 4 C 2 3 4 1
There's a land so I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1
And when it's time to take your turn
There's one lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you'll ever hope to find 2 3 4 1 2 3
When you reach the broken promised land
When every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can de-fine 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1
The river flows on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who's the next to cross the borderline 2 3 4 1 2 3
When you reach the broken promised land
When every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 1 2 3
When you reach the broken promised land
When every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know it's too late to change your mind 2 3 4 1 2 3
'Cause you've paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 C 2 3
And you're still just a-cross the border line 2 3 4 C 2 3 4 C
