There's a land where I've been told every street is
paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline

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 promiseland every dream slips through
your hand
You'll know it's too late to change your mind

Cause you paid the price to come so far just to wind up where
you are
And you're still just across the borderline


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

The river flows on like a breath in between our life and
death
Who's the next to cross the borderline

[ guitar ]
Hope remains when pride is gone and it keeps you moving on
Calling you across the borderline

When you reach the broken promiseland...
And you're still just across the borderline
