Chris Ledoux - The Borderline lyrics

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 ain't 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 hero's never turn or look back They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline In the safety 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 k**ed 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 against 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 x2]
