"Border Lord" lyrics

"Border Lord"
(feat. Kris Kristofferson)

Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota
In the morning, in the rain
Like his eyes feelin' and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was hummin' to a half forgotten nickel hangin' over
In the brain
Time and time been thinkin' of the time we never had the time to take
Losin' to the risin' cost of livin', I am lovin' hard
Even with yesterday behind ya
Burnin' every bridge you cross, it's burnin' down before you're off
You're runnin' like the Devil just in time

Breakin' any ties before they find you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, take it easy
'Til it's over
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line

Good lookin' women every time you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall, when you fall
Get into you bad enough to let 'em keep you backin' up
'Til just before your back's against the wall

Breakin' any ties before they find you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all, take it easy
'Til it's over
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord you're bound to cross that line
Oh
Across the line
Across the line
Across that line
Oh, yeah
