KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Border Lord lyrics

Darkness had us covered when we split

From Minnesota in the morning in the rain

Black as I was feeling and the street was slick

And shiny as a snake

Each of us was a humming to a half forgotten echo

Hanging over in the brain

Topping time and thinking of the time

We never had the time to take.

Losing to the rising coast of living high and loving hard

And leaving every yesterday behind

Learning every brodge you cross is running down before you're off

And running like the devil just in time.

Breaking any ties before they bind you

Taking any comfort you can find

Running like you're running out of time

Take it all (take it easy) till it's over understanding

When you're headin' for the border Lord

You're bound to cross the line.

Good lookin' women every time you stumble

Waitin' there to catch you where you fall

Gettin' to you bad enough to let 'em keep you backing up

Till just before your back's against the wall.

Breaking any ties before they bind you

Taking any comfort you can find

Running like you're running out of time

Take it all (take it easy) till it's over understanding

When you're headin' for the border Lord

You're bound to cross the line...
