On the Border
Cruisin' down the center of a two way street
Wond'rin' who is really in the driver's seat
Mindin' my bus'ness, along comes big brother
Says, "Son, you better get on one side or the other."
I'm out on the border
I'm walkin' the line
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this water to wine.
After a hard day, I'm safe at home
Foolin' with my baby on the telephone
Out of nowhere somebody cuts in
and says, "Hmm, you in some trouble boy, we know where you're been."
I'm out on the border
I thought this was a private line
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this water to wine
Never mind your name, just give us your number, mm
Never mind your face, just show us your card, mm
And we wanna know whose wing are you under
You better step to the right or we can make it hard
I'm stuck on the border
All I wanted was some peace of mind
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this water to wine
On the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
(On the border)
Leave me be, I'm just walkin' this line
(I'm out on the border)
(On the border)
All I wanted was some peace of mind, peace of mind
(I'm out on the border)
(On the border)
Can't you see I'm tryin to change this water to wine?
(I'm out on the border)
(On the border)
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
(I'm out on the border)
I'm sick and tired of all your law and order
(On the border)
Say Goodnight, Dick
(I'm out on the border...)
Wond'rin' who is really in the driver's seat

On the border
On the border
On the border
