Across the Line

[Verse 1] Where the sun goes up and the sun comes down Nothing ever changes in a border town It turns around and starts all over again It's alcohol and nicotine and everyday's like Halloween It's a my loco world we're living in It's broken dreams and shady deals Red hot cars and cold blue steel And every night temptation comes around And down on the border where the coyotes howl The hot winds blow and the big boys prowl Always something evil going down [Chorus] Look out boy you're going to lose control Blow your cool and curse your soul Open up your eyes and read the signs Are you going to be a man and stand up tall Or turn your back and say the hell with it all Don't you know that the blind can't lead the blind And you're just about to cross the line [Verse 2] Don't you know if you turn your back The water gets muddy and the cards get stacked Nobody gets a free ride in this game A rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief Doctor, lawyer or an Indian chief In the eyes of the law they're all going to look the same But right's still right and wrong's still wrong And they keep on singing that same old song About the only ones are you and me Take a look in the mirror cause you know what you are A belly full of guts and a little tin star And you're standing between the devil and the deep blue sea [Chorus]
