The Borderline

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

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 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 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

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
