Borderline (Souvenirs of City Life)

Is it coincidence I live my life within the walls of this fence?
And it makes no sense to innocence to leave
But I can't stop believin'

There's so much for me to see
And I wanna taste it all
So much between you and me
But not for long

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
I am packed and I am well dressed
Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
Does mother really know best?

'Cause I'm breathin', breathin' in
Deep inside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Deep inside the borderline
The borderline I call my home

But now I don't know
Age 18, I am evergreen
On a bus
Destination Columbus
And on my headphones
Scream Simon and Garfunkel
Reaching out to me with America

Here I come, y'all, America

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
And now suddenly I'm far away
Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
I am no longer okay

'Cause I'm breathin', breathin' in
Breathin' on the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Breathin' on the borderline
The borderline I call my home

Have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
And where there was darkness overflows with light
So have gun will travel
As my life unravels at the seams
For all the rights and wrong, why you've gone
Now I'm gone and I've never been better in all my life

And I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I call my home
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I've known
I'm breathin', breathin' in
Way outside the borderline
The borderline I call my home

It's time to go
