Borderlines

VERSE 1
The sun set on your village at the border
Another broken treaty line’s redrawn
There are wrongs that have been done
With a hatchet and a gun
We need to find a way to get along

VERSE 2
Drums of war echo in the distance
I must swallow hard to hide my fear
Arrows flying through the air
A preacher man a sayin’ prayers
An avalanche of wagons wants to cross the new frontier

CHORUS
Borderlines
Were made for crossing
Danger’s waiting on the other side
Borderlines
There ain’t no stopping
Temptation will not be denied

VERSE 3
Long hunters crept across your border
And returned with crazy tales to tell
Mysteries we can’t unlearn
Bridges we cannot unburn
We can’t put out the fire with a wishing well

VERSE 4
Keep the braves on your side, we’ll be right here
Building to this line we shouldn’t cross
So many days i look your way
And fantasize and contemplate
If crossing over justifies the cost

CHORUS
Borderlines
Were made for crossing
Danger’s waiting on the other side
Borderlines
There ain’t no stopping
Temptation will not be denied
