It's midnight in the big city
At the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me
How something's going wrong
Mr. Tellman
What's my saving grace
The back home boys are all telling me
I'm the borderline king
Back on the borderline
One more time
Back on the borderline
One more time
Seven years and still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this thing no longer
She could have told me it's all over
Back in my hometown
The old place
The old place
It's still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
If you can't go back in
Back in my hometown
Back in my hometown
But our family's mine






Back on the borderline
Back on the borderland
No more time
Back on the borderland
No more time
Back on the borderland

No more time
Back on the borderland



Lester, film me another
Till I go crazy and I turn my mind around
Just pass that file one more time
So next thing you know
Jeannie, can I tell you
The shame of my disgrace
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case
Back on the borderline
One more time
Back on the borderline

One more time
Back on the borderline
There's a problem
One more time
Back on the borderline

Back on the borderline
One more time
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, stay
One more time
One more time
One more time
