Kris Kristofferson Lyrics for Song: Border Lord
 Lyrics for Album: Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends: The Publishing Demos1968-72 [2010]
 
 
 
 9108>(Kris Kristofferson)
 
 
 
 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
 
 Hanging over in the brain
 
 Topping time and thinking of the time
 
 We never had the time to take.
 
 
 
 Losing to the rising coast of living high and loving hard
 
 And leaving every yesterday behind
 
 Learning every brodge you cross is running down before you're off
 
 And running like the devil just in time.
 
 
 
 Breaking 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.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 Good lookin' women every time you stumble
 
 Waitin' there to catch you where you fall
 
 Gettin' to you bad enough to let 'em keep you backing up
 
 Till just before your back's against the wall.
 
 
 
 Breaking 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...
