"Crossing the Border"

(Kris Kristofferson)

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 made it without you over 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.

Ah, but you doubled my chances I sure do want your freedom
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...
