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--I made it without you Crossing 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 Ahhh, you--you doubled my chances I--I sure do want your freedom I--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.
