[Verse] Down by the river where the shadows creep Stories of the night run dark and deep A truck rolls by with secrets to hide Smuggling dreams across the borderline [Chorus] Borderline tales the whispers fly Truths and lies in the desert sky With every mile the stakes grow high Borderline tales where hopes collide [Verse 2] Footsteps echo in the moonlit sand Carrying burdens with trembling hands Under the stars the coyotes call Risking it all for a chance to stand tall [Chorus] Borderline tales the whispers fly Truths and lies in the desert sky With every mile the stakes grow high Borderline tales where hopes collide [Bridge] The law keeps watch with a wary eye Dreams and schemes both live and die A hidden dance in the dead of night Between the shadows and the searchlight [Verse 3] Families wait with a prayer in their chest Holding to hope and fearing the rest The news rolls in like a restless tide Another chapter in the fight to survive
