Across The Border - Album Version Songtext

Ive been workin so hard, baby, Tryin to get to you. Im gonna be there soon because In the heat of the day many miles away When the sun is beating down upon the main street Ill be waiting here at the station, I gotta move down the line. Theyll be dancin and singin and doin their thing And theyll be rockin and rollin until the day is done. You know I got to make the deadline. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I dont get to the border then Ill write. The mardi gras will be blowing strong And the people dancing all across the city. Im leaving here tonight, I gotta move down the line. Im gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five, Im gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning, Maybe three or four hundred miles. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I dont get to the border then Ill write. When the wind is blowing softly Through the streets of a little town and the musics playin Youre waiting somewhere over the horizon. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I dont get to the border then Ill write.
