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

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
