CROSS THE BORDERLINE
by Daniel Moore
Recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker on "Too Old To Change" circa 1979

D
There ain't nothin' in the world
         G                 Em
that can take away my memories
       A
Of my travels through the great northwestern
G            D
Mountain scenery
D
With my woman by my side
         G                Em
With her lips like cherry wine
    A
She kissed me, said she loved me
      G                 D
As we crossed the borderline.

CHORUS
D              G                 D
Don't you fly away - eee - eee - eee woman of mine
A                    D
Don't you fade away; don't you be that kind
D              G                 D
Don't you fly away - eee - eee - eee woman of mine
A
Tell me that you love me
      G                 D
As we crossed the borderline.

verse 2
If you're ever in Alaska, 
Take a message to my friend
That the glamor of the city life
Is as empty  as the wind
It'll steal away love's joy;
It'll drive a heart stone blind
Makes a cold Alaskan winter 
Seem like something warm and fine.

Repeat Chorus
Oh, tell me how you love me as we cross that borderline.
(Yodel)
