Tonight they'll send me across the border   tell me to stay out of sight   said I should lose my collar   and only move at night   'cause they're looking for me in LA   trying to track me down   looking to stain my calling   with the dirt of my hometown   Jesus won't you lead me to the border...alright      Tonight they'll send me across the border   Mahoney wished me Godspeed   said I was bringing heat down on him   and he's got all that he needs   but he won't let them throw me in the water   legs tied down with a rock   he's always been good to me   a loyal shepherd to his flock   Jesus won't you lead me to the border...alright      heart starts palpitating   my legs they feel like rain   when the laughter of the children   comes back to me again   only love in my heart   only healing in my hands   and the curses of the fallen   who do not understand      Tonight they'll send me across the border   called me a psychopath   gave me a final blessing   and told me never to come back   but my children they still beckon   the poor and the alone   looking for a piece of heaven   they'll invite me in their home   Jesus won't you lead me to the border...alright   Jesus won't you lead me cross the border...alright   Jesus won't you lead me cross the border...alright
