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 
On the border 
On the border 
All I wanted was some peace of mind, peace of mind 
I'm out on the border 
On the border 
Can't you see I'm tryin to change this water to wine 
Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order 
Sick and tired of all your law and order 
Sick and tired of it
