Border Lord

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning
 In the rain
 Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
 
 Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
 Hangin' over in the brain
 Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
 ♪
 Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
 And leavin' every yesterday behind
 Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and
 Running
 Like the devil just in time
 Chorus:
 Breakin' 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-till it's over-understanding
 When you're headin' for the border lord
 You're bound to cross the line
 ♪
 Good lookin' women every time you stumble
 
 Waitin' there to catch you when you fall
 Gettin' to you bad enough to let em
 Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall
 Chorus:
 Breakin' any ties before they bind you
 Takin' any comfort you can find
 Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
 Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding
 When you're headin' for the border lord
 You're bound to cross the line
