Boy named Johnny—Girl named Sue
Sue say "Johnny, whatcha tryin’ to do?"
Sue got a baby, Johnny got away
Sue thinks Johnny’ll be back someday
But no...He’s crossed too many borderlines
Johnny done crossed too many borderlines

New York City—Teenage brain
Fill it up with crack cocaine
If that’s the way you’re gonna use your head
You’re gonna wind...wind—Gonna wind up dead
That’s one too many borderlines
You know you done crossed too many borderlines

Might get nervous—I’m a normal man
Wanna get to heaven anyway I can
Wanna get to heaven—up to heaven’s gate
I hope Saint Peter don’t make me wait
And say, "Boy, you crossed too many borderlines"
God say you crossed too many borderlines

Moses told Pharaoh you better not try
If you keep on comin’ you’re gonna die
Pharaoh say, "Hey, that’ll be the day!"
Water came down—Washed him away
That’s one too many borderlines
God say you crossed too many borderlines

You know what? You know what I think?
I think I need one more drink
I can drive...hey I know I can
Left the road at a hundred and ten
That’s one too many borderlines
You know you done crossed too many borderlines

Might get nervous, I’m a normal man
Wanna get to heaven anyway I can
Wanna get to heaven—up to heaven’s gate
Hope Saint Peter don’t make me wait
And say, "Boy, you crossed too many borderlines"
God say you crossed too many borderlines

You know you done crossed too many borderlines
