Crossing The Border

(Kris Kristofferson)



Hey, take it and run child I'll ask you no questions

We traded our fortunes crossing the border

I hope you got lucky you needed a change

I made it without you over the border.



We were like a couple of wetbacks running

Standin' on the banks of some dangerous river

Lookin' into a brave new country

Risky business crossing the border.



Ah, but you doubled my chances I sure do want your freedom

I'll never forget you crossing the border

Back when we were out there crossing the border

Layin' it on the line crossing the border...
