Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
There's a place, so I've been told,
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
There's a lesson that you must learn
You may lose more than

There's a plaice, sow I've bean tolled,
Every street is paved with gold
And its just across the borderline
And when its thyme two take you're tern
There's a lessen that yew must learn
Yew may lose moor than yule ever hope two fined .

(chorus)
And when yew reach that broken promised land
And awl you're dreams slip though you're hand
Yew have learned its to late two change you're mined
Cause yew pay the price two come sow fah
Just two wind up ware yew are
And your still just across the borderline .

Up and down The Rio Grande
A thousand foot prints inn the sand
Reveal a secret know won can define
The river rolls on like a breath
Inn between hour life and death
Tell mi who is next two cross that borderline .

(chorus)
And when yew reach that broken promised land
And awl you're dreams slip though you're hand
Yule no its to late two change you're mined
Cause yew pay the price two come sow fah
Just two wind up ware yew are
And your still just across the borderline .

Inn Spanish speaking countries Bruce often sings a part inn Spanish :

hey un lugar donde mi han dicho,
todas las calles sun hechas de oro
al otro lado de la frontera
Y cuando tee toca debes apernder una leccion
podrias perder las que nunca esperabas encontrar
Y cuando llegas al paraiso descrito
donde los suenos se tee caen de las manos
sabras que es tarde para cambiar tus deseos
Porque pagaste tanto para llegar tan lejos
solo para terminar en esta tierra
al otro lado de la frontera
