The Borderline Lyrics by Chris LeDoux

One Road Man

0

[Verse 1]
In a cloud of dust 'cross Texas, south of San Anton'
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

[Verse 2]
Well, the lawman wanted justice, the cowboy needs revenge
They tracked the outlaws' horses up to the river's edge
And there across 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 the dusty trail, destiny begins
And heroes never turn or look back
They just ride through the sands of time
On the borderline

[Verse 3]
In the safety of the badlands, the outlaws stopped their run
The campfire rings with laughter of the evil things they've done
How they'd taken all they'd wanted and they'd killed the cowboy's wife
They knew no one would follow them across the borderline

[Verse 4]
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]
So they ride to the desert wind
Down the dusty trail, destiny begins
And heroes never turn or look back
They just ride through the sands of time
On the borderline

So they ride to the desert wind
Down the dusty trail, destiny begins
And heroes never turn or look back
So they ride to the desert wind
Down the dusty trail, destiny begins
And heroes never turn or look back
They just ride
