Across The Borderline - Live at LA Arena, Los Angeles, CA - 4/28/1988

There's a land, so I've been told
Where every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
There's a lesson that you must learn
You may lose more than you ever hoped to find

And when you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
And you know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand-foot prints in the sand
Reveal a secret that no one can define
A river rolls on like a breath
In between our life and death
Tell me who is the next to cross the borderline

And when you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
And you know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline
More guitar, kid

When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
And you know it's too late to change your mind
'Cause you paid the price to come this far
Just to wind up where you are
And you're still just across the borderline

Well, there's a land, so I've been told
Where every street is paved with gold
