Tommy West - Girls Ride Horses Too lyrics

He said "Life on the border is a little bit rough "If you're gonna love me, you gotta be tough "Beyond the law, anything goes "When you're livin' on the edge of Mexico." I heard all he said But I didn't believe Not till I tried to keep him close to me He rode away in a cloud of dust Chasin' Laredo and Lady Luck His bags were full of who knows what? I knew what I had to do Girls ride horses too I rode all day Tracking him down Spent the night on dangerous ground Smelling the smoke of the distant fire Feeling the flame of my desires Well, nothing in the desert is what it seems I ran up numbers in my dreams He rode away in a cloud of dust Chasin' Laredo and Lady Luck His bags were full of who knows what? I knew what I had to do Girls ride horses too I crossed the river as the sun came up Drank his Tequila from a silver cup Traded his bags for a sack of gold And got a little taste of Mexico If he's gonna love me, he's gotta get tough Life on the border is a little bit rough He rode away in a cloud of dust Chasin' Laredo and Lady Luck His bags were full of who knows what? I did what I had to do Oh, he rode away in a cloud of dust Chasin' Laredo and Lady Luck His bags were full of who knows what? I did what I had to do Girls ride horses too Girls ride horses too Oh, girls ride horses too I did what I had to do Oh, girls ride horses too I did what I had to do
