Lyrics

Borderline
(Effron White)

I ain’t looking back ain’t gonna be here long
I ain’t asking for the time of day
The baggage I have packed I’d best not lug it on
I think I need to lighten up my case

We’ve got some distance we must cover
I pray we’re gonna make it in good time
But the burdens that we’ve laid upon our brothers
Are the ones that could drag us down at the borderline

You probably don’t know me from Adam
But like him I wear a serpent round my heart
It drug me through the deepest death-filled valley
Where many don’t find their way out of the dark

We’ve got some distance we must cover
I pray we’re gonna make it in good time
But the burdens that we’ve laid upon our brothers
Are the ones that could drag us down at the borderline

Instrumental Break (Chorus)

My headlights shine straight toward that horizon
Where my treasure waits for me by my new bed
I’ll rest in peace despite all criticizing
Thank Jesus I ain’t gonna wake up dead

We’ve got some distance we must cover
I pray we’re gonna make it in good time
But the burdens that we’ve laid upon our brothers
Are the ones that could drag us down at the borderline
You don’t wanna be held back at the borderline
So don’t carry no dead weight to the borderline
