Across The Line Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Daniels Band

Where the sun goes up and the sun comes down nothing ever changes in a border town 

It turns around and starts all over again 

It's alcohol and nicotine and everyday's like Halloween 

It's a muy loco world we're living in 

It's broken dreams and shady deals 

Red hot cars and cold blue steel 

And every night temptation comes around 

And down on the border where the coyotes howl 

The hot winds blow and the big boys prowl 

Always something evil going down 

CHORUS 

Look out boy you're gonna lose control 

Blow your cool and curse your soul 

Open up your eyes and read the signs 

Are you gonna be a man and stand up tall 

Or turn your back and say the hell with it all 

Don't you know that the blind can't lead the blind 

And you're just about to cross the line 

Don't you know if you turn your back the water gets muddy and the cards get stacked 

Nobody gets a free ride in this game 

A rich man poor man beggar man thief doctor lawyer or an Indian chief 

In the eyes of the law they're all gonna look the same 

But right's still right and wrong's still wrong 

And they keep on singing that same old song 

About the only ones are you and me 

Take a look in the mirror cause you know what you are 

A belly full of guts and a little tin star 

And you're standing between the devil and the deep blue sea 

REPEAT CHORUS
