Ry Cooder – Across The Borderline Chords

There’s a place where I’ve been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it’s just across the border line
And when it’s time to take your turn
Here’s a lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you’ll ever find

When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you’ll know that it’s too late to change your mind
Cause you’ve paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you’re still just across the border line

Up and down the Rio Grande
A thousand footprints in the sand
Reveal a secret no one can define

Hope remains when pride is gone
And it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline

When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you’ll know that it’s too late to change your mind
Cause you’ve paid the price to come so far
Just to wind up where you are
And you’re still just across the border line
And you’re still just across the border line
