Cruisin' down the center
of a two way street
Wond'rin' who is really
in the driver's seat
Mindin' my bus'ness
along comes big brother
Says Son you better get on
one side or the other
I'm out on the border
I'm walkin' the line
Don't you tell me
bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this
water to wine
After a hard day
I'm safe at home
Foolin' with my baby
on the telephone
Out of nowhere
somebody cuts in
and Says
Hmm you in some trouble boy
we know where you're been
I'm out on the border
I thought this was a
private line
Don't you tell me
bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this
water to wine
Never mind your name
just give us your number mm
Never mind your face
just show us your card mm
And we wanna know
whose wing are you under
You better step to the right
or we can make it hard
I'm stuck on the border
All I wanted was some
peace of mind
Don't you tell me
bout your law and order
I'm try'n' to change this
water to wine
On the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
On the border
Leave me be
I'm just walkin' this line
I'm out on the border
On the border
All I wanted was some
peace of mind
peace of mind
On the border
Can't you see
I'm tryin to change this
water to wine
I'm out on the border
on the border
Don't you tell me
bout your law and order
Sick and tired of all your
law and order
on the border
Sick and tired of it
