|
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
|
Hangin' over in the brain
|
Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
|
|
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
|
And leavin' every yesterday behind
|
Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and
|
running
|
Like the devil just in time
|
|
Chorus:
|
Breakin' 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 when you fall
|
Gettin' to you bad enough to let em
|
Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall
|
|
Chorus:
|
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
|
Takin' any comfort you can find
|
Runnin' like you're runnin' 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
|
