Across the Border

I've been workin' so hard, baby Tryin' to get to you I'm gonna be there soon, because In the heat of the day, many miles away When the sun is beating down upon the Main Street I'll be waitin' here at the station I gotta move down the line They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done You know, I've got to make the deadline I gotta get that southbound train tonight If I don't get to the border, then I'll write The Mardi Gras will be blowin' strong And the people dancin' all across the city I'm leaving here tonight I gotta move down the line I'm gonna catch a ride on the 9:05 I'm gonna ride the rails until we reach the mornin' Maybe three or four hundred miles I gotta get that southbound train tonight If I don't get to the border, then I'll write When the wind is blowing softly Through the streets of a little town and the music's playin' You're waitin' somewhere over the horizon I gotta get that southbound train tonight If I don't get to the border, then I'll write You know I'm coming, baby You know I'm coming, baby
