On the Border lyrics

Cruising down the centre of a two way street

Wondering who is really in the driver's seat

Minding my business along comes big brother

Says, "Son you better get on one side or the other"

Oh oh, I'm out on the border

I'm walking the line

Don't you tell me about your law and order

I'm trying to change this water to wine

After a hard day I'm safe at home

Fooling with my baby on the telephone

Out of nowhere somebody cuts in and says,

"Hmm, you in some trouble boy

We know where you've been"

Oh oh, I'm out on the border

I thought this was a private line

Don't you tell me about your law and order

I'm trying to change this water to wine

Never mind your name, just give us your number

Never mind your face, just show us your card

And we want to know whose wing are you under

You better step to the right or we can make it hard

Oh ooh, I'm stuck on the border

All I wanted was some peace of mind

Don't you tell me about your law and order

I'm trying to change this water to wine

(On the border)

(On the border)

(On the border)

(On the border)

Leave me be, I'm just walking this line

(I'm out on the border)

(On the border) All I wanted was some peace of mind, peace of mind

(I'm out on the border)

(On the border) Can't you see I'm trying to change this water to wine

(I'm out on the border)

Don't you tell me about your law and order

(I'm out on the border ) I'm sick and tired of all your law and order

(On the border) Sick and tired of it

I'm out on the border

On the border

I'm out on the border
