Over the concrete border, there's a girl who knows my name
   And only Checkpoint Charlie has the way for us to meet again
   We thought we knew what all the fighting years were for
   But that was long ago before the cold war
   She waits yet another day
   With dreams like my own
   For a chance to be back with me home
  
   Checkpoint Charlie - open up your gates for me
   Let me set my baby free - Checkpoint Charlie
   Checkpoint Charlie, won't you let her back to me?
   Home is where she need to be - Checkpoint Charlie
   Checkpoint Charlie
  
   Letters they string together with the memories of home
   Of lovers who need each other
   But the rules of men have hearts of stone
   We'd always talk about our dreams as I recall
   But that was long ago, before they built the wall
   Over the concrete bordrer
   She waits yet another day, with dreams like my own
   For a chance to be back with me, home
  
   Checkpoint Charlie - open up your gates for me
   Let me set my baby free - Checkpoint Charlie
   Checkpoint Charlie, won't you let her back to me?
   Home is where she need to be - Checkpoint Charlie
   Checkpoint Charlie
  
   Checkpoint Charlie - Checkpoint Charlie
   Checkpoint Charlie - Checkpoint Charlie
