Across The Border

Jeff Lynne

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
And 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 rails 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
You know, I'm coming, baby, ooh
You know, I'm coming, baby, ooh
Ooh, ooh
