On the streets they call her angel
She's got innocent eyes
She'll take a man to heaven
If he pays the price
She swears it's not forever
There are babies to feed
So she does what she can
Sellin' love second hand
To get what they need
Chorus:
Borderline angel
In her heart she believes
This is the last time
Down on her knees
Beggin' sweet Jesus
To loosen the ties
That make her cross over
The borderline
Memories of her childhood
Still haunt her today
The smell of old whiskey
He's rough with her face
God only knows
The hand she's been delt
Her soul is torn
As she walks the fine line
Between heaven and hell
(repeat chorus three times
