Across The Border Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

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 waiting 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 got to make the deadline 

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh 

If I don't get to the border then I'll write 

The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong 

And the people dancing all across the city 

I'm leaving here tonight 

I gotta move down the line 

I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five 

I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning 

Maybe three or four hundred miles 

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh 

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 waiting somewhere over the horizon 

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh 

If I don't get to the border then I'll write
