Border Lord
Sheryl Crow Song Lyrics

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 is burnin' down before your eyes

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...
