In a cloud of dust across Texas south of San Antone
A lawman and a cowboy pushed their horses on
Racin' toward the Rio runnin' out of time

They had to catch the outlaws before they crossed the borderline

Well, the lawman wanted justice, the cowboy needs revenge

They tracked the outlaws' horses up to the rivers edge
And there across the the Rio a badge aint worth a dime
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the borderline


Chorus:
So they ride to the desert wind

Down a dusty trail destiny begins
And heros never turn or look back
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline


In the saftey of the badlands the outlaws stop their run
The campfire rings with laughter of the evil things they'd done

How they'd taken all they wanted and they killed the cowboy's wife
They knew no one would follow them across the borderline


Now the lawman and the cowboy stepped out of the dark
Though it was two agsinst the twenty every bullet found its mark
And so goes the legend that out there in the night

The two still ride together somewhere beyond the borderline



CHORUS X 2
