[Verse 1]
And it's ridin' on the high line that cuts against the border
Thinkin' that it's 'bout time to get my heart in order
It's a long way both ways from sea to shining sea
'Specially when you're caught there somewhere in between
[Chorus]
And it's go back, go on, whichever you choose
You are damned if you don't and you're damned if you do
And it's hold back, hold on, all we've been through
And still there is a soft spot in my heart for you
[Verse 2]
And it's a long way from Spokane to Minot, North Dakota
Especially when you're tired and your radio is broken
And the menus are the same and the coffee tastes like water
And the waitress has a ring that someone else has bought her
[Chorus]
And it's go back, go on, whichever you choose
You are damned if you don't and you're damned if you do
And it's hold back, hold on, all we've been through
And still there is a soft spot in my heart for you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And the northern lights are out tonight and they dance across the sky
And the lightnin' from a distant storm I can't outrun tonight
And the foxes lyin' on the road, they don't know why they tried
Runnin' on the high line against the borderline
[Chorus]
And it's go back, go on, whichever you choose
You are damned if you don't and you're damned if you do
And it's hold back, hold on, all we've been through
And still there is a soft spot in my heart for
Go back, go on, whichever you choose
And still there is a soft spot in my heart for you
