    Just thinkin' bout that girl and me How somethings goin' wrong

2nd half of Verse 1 played just like the first
Mr. tell me
What's my savin' grace
The backroom boys are all tellin' me
I'm a borderline case

 Back on the borderline one more time
 Back on the borderline one more time

Verse 2 like Verse 1
Seven beers and I'm still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this seen no longer
She coulda told me it's all over

Back in my hometown
The old place it's still the same
But time can cast its spell over somethings
You can't go back again

Verse 3 played like other verses
Mr. fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turns my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time
I'm slowly sinkin' down (down)

Jeanie can I tell you?
The shame of my disgrace
Is this love or rejection
For this borderline case

Play Chorus
Back on the borderline one more time
Back on the borderline one more time
I'm on my hands and knees and crawlin' I'm beggin' ya darlin'
one more time
Back on the borderline one more time
