Across the Border

Tonight my bag is packed
 Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks
 That will lead me 'cross the border
 Tomorrow my love and I
 We'll sleep 'neath auburn skies
 Somewhere across the border
 We'll leave behind my dear
 Pain and sadness we've found here
 And we'll drink from the Brazos' muddy waters
 Where the sky grows gray and wide
 We'll meet on the other side
 There across the border
 For me you'll build a house
 High upon a grassy hill
 Somewhere across the border
 Where pain and memory
 Pain and memory have been stilled
 There across the border
 Sweet blossoms fill the air
 Pastures of gold and green
 Roll down into cool clear waters
 And in your arms 'neath open skies
 I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
 There across the border
 Tonight we'll sing the songs
 And I'll dream of you, my corazon
 And tomorrow my heart will be strong
 And may the saints' blessing and grace
 Carry me safely into your arms
 There across the border
 For what are we
 Without hope in our hearts
 That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
 And eat the fruit from the vine
 I know that love and fortune will be mine
 Somewhere across the border
