Across the Border

I've been workin' so hard, baby
 Tryin' to get to you
 I'm gonna be there soon, because
 In the heat of the day, many miles away
 When the sun is beating down upon the Main Street
 I'll be waitin' here at the station
 I gotta move down the line
 They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
 And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done
 You know, I've got to make the deadline
 I gotta get that southbound train tonight
 If I don't get to the border, then I'll write
 ♪
 The Mardi Gras will be blowin' strong
 And the people dancin' all across the city
 I'm leaving here tonight
 I gotta move down the line
 I'm gonna catch a ride on the 9:05
 I'm gonna ride the rails until we reach the mornin'
 Maybe three or four hundred miles
 I gotta get that southbound train tonight
 If I don't get to the border, then I'll write
 ♪
 When the wind is blowing softly
 Through the streets of a little town and the music's playin'
 You're waitin' somewhere over the horizon
 I gotta get that southbound train tonight
 If I don't get to the border, then I'll write
 You know I'm coming, baby

 You know I'm coming, baby
