Across the Borderline (feat. John Hiatt) - Flaco Jimenez

Shrunken head and Mardi gras beads Hanging on a rear view mirror that bleeds Keeping her eyes on the open road No telling where that son a bitch goes Got her doors locked doing seventy five Donâ

I'm over the hill, under the bridge Still a few peaks and down the hills, I ain't seen You talk about love, I talk about love I don't know any better than to dream I know your father's house, it has many rooms I see the young men sweeping up with their brooms But if you want me I'm over the hill Yeah if you want me I'm over the hill I'm longing a tooth, and what can I say I've taken huge bites of life and I ate the bones The gristle and mellow feeds my soul Gives me the strength to forgive all the sticks and stones And what you see in me you think I see too I didn't get here telling stories for you But if you want me I'm over the hill Yeah if you want me baby I'm over the hill I hear a distant cry A tear forms in your eye For the way things might have been We can't live that again No time to fill the cup No time to screw it up We'll have to place our bets On a door with no regrets Well time won't tell, heaven or hell Time just pisses his secrets down the street You talk about love, I talk about love Sometimes I'll even think we know what we mean No band of angels bringing peace to the streets We wear the garments and we shuffle our feet But if you want me baby I'm over the hill, yeah But if you want me baby I'm over the hill Oh, I'm over the hill baby I'm over the hill baby I'm over the hill baby

It's a lonely picture Of an empty glass It's a still life study Of a drunken ass And he howls at the moon Hoping the sun don't come up too fast #1: I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone on my knees at last Alone in the dark It's extreme self pity And frozen fear 'Cause I want you with me And you're not here So I rub my nose in it babe 'Til the roses smell just like death #2: I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm all alone in the dark now baby I'm al alone and drawing whisky breath Alone in the dark My head is spinning baby what went wrong I swear to God I tried Just turned around one day and you were gone Now these tears I have to cry Alone in the dark baby, I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm all alone Since the night you left I just couldn't stand myself anyway #1 TWICE

Done pretty good now babe Keepin' the lights on this last little while Nobody trying' to hunt us down for somethin' we done wrong Got no reason not to smile The sun come up every mornin' Even when it's too cloudy to see I was willin' to lose that years ago Don't know what was the matter with me Baby we're alright now Gotta love so strong Alright now Even when it's wrong A little gratitude now babe It sure can go a long, long way Feels good like eatin' ice cream So I try to have a little bit every day A lot of heavy liftin' Bein' done on our behalf Didn't earn it, didn't deserve it We didn't even have to ask And we're alright now Gotta love so strong Baby we're alright now Even when it's wrong So won't you stay with me tonight We'll cry some tears and sing some songs Honey it's alright now All those bad old days are gone Won't you stay with me tonight We'll cry some tears and sing some songs Baby it's alright now All those bad old days are gone Oh we're alright now Gotta love so strong Baby, we're alright now Even when it's wrong Honey it's alright now All those bad old days are gone
