lyrics

I was looking through the classifieds
When I saw that you were selling your old ride
The one that we took down to the borderline

Help me out I need a friend
I’m standing on the edge of oblivion
Hanging on by a thread

On the borderline
Just you and I
On the borderline

Help me out I need a friend
I wish this day would begin again
With the sun going down and the cops closing in.

They said, “come out boys there’s nowhere to hide
The dogs are on your trail and they’re not afraid to bite
you’re never gonna make the other side

On the borderline
Just you and I
On the borderline

But, I guess we could have been more careful
I guess we’ll never make the other side
I guess we could have been more careful
‘Cause now we’ll never make the other side
Nah, we’ll never make the other side

I was looking through the classifieds
When I saw that you were selling your old ride
The one that we took down to the borderline
