Across the Border (EP version)
guitar chords lyrics
(I've been workin' so hard, baby,
Tryin' to get to you.
I'm gonna be there soon,
Because...)
In the heat of the day,
Many miles away
When the sun is beating down
Upon the main street,
I'll be waitin' here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They'll be dancin' and singin'
And doin' their thing,
And they'll be rockin' and rollin'
Until the day is done.
You know, I've got to
And they'll be rockin' and rollin'
Until the day is done.
You know, I've got to
Make the deadline.
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border, then I'll write.
The Mardi Gras
Will be blowing strong,
And the people dancing
All across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I'm gonna catch a ride on the 9: 05,
I'm gonna ride the rails
Until we reach the morning,
Maybe three or four
Hundred miles.
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border, then I'll write.
When the wind is blowing
Softly through the streets
Of a little town
And the music's playin',
You're waitin' somewhere
Over the horizon.
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If I don't get to the border, then I'll write.
You know, I gotta get that baby
You know, I gotta get that baby.
