Darkness had us covered when we split from Minnesota in the morning  In the rain  Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake  Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo  Hangin' over in the brain  Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take  Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard  And leavin' every yesterday behind  Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and  running  Like the devil just in time  Chorus:  Breakin' any ties before they bind you  Taking any comfort you can find  Running like you're running out of time  Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding  When you're headin' for the border lord  You're bound to cross the line  Good lookin' women every time you stumble  Waitin' there to catch you when you fall  Gettin' to you bad enough to let em  Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall  Chorus:  Breakin' any ties before they bind you  Takin' any comfort you can find  Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time  Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding  When you're headin' for the border lord  You're bound to cross the line
