Border Lord Lyrics - The Essential Kris Kristofferson - 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 

Hangin' over in the brain 

Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take 

Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard 

And leavin' every yesterday behind

Learning every bridge you cross, 

Is burning down before you're off and 

Running 

Like the devil just in time 

Breakin' 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 

Good lookin' women every time you stumble 

Waitin' there to catch you when you fall 

Gettin' to you bad enough to let em 

Keep you backin' up 

Till just before your back's against the wall 

Photos 

Breakin' any ties before they bind you 

Takin' any comfort you can find 

Runnin' like you're runnin' 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
