In a Dmcloud of dust cross Texas, Csouth of San Antone
The Bblawman and the cowboy pushed their A7horses on
DmRacin' toward the Rio Crunning out of time
They Bbhad to catch the outlaws beA7fore they crossed the borderDmline
Well, the lawman wanted justice the Ccowboy needs revenge
They Bbtracked the Outlaws' horses up A7to the river's edge
And Dmthere across the Rio a Cbadge ain't worth a dime
The Bblaw was in their own hands A7once they crossed the borderDmline
So they Fride Bbto the desert Cwind down a dusty Ftrail, Bbdestiny beCgins
Heroes never Bbturn or look Cback
They just Fride Bbthrough the sands of Ctime on the borderBbline Dm
In the Dmsafety of the badlands the Coutlaws stopped their run
The Bbcampfire rings with laughter of A7evil things they've done
How they'd Dmtaken all they wanted and Ckilled the cowboy's wife
And Bbknew no one would follow them, A7 cross the borderDmline
The lawman and the cowboys Cstepped out of the dark
And it was Bbtwo against the twenty and every A7bullet found its mark
And Dmso goes the legend that Cout there in the night
The Bbtwo still ride together someA7where beyond the borderDmline
So they Fride Bbto the desert Cwind down a dusty Ftrail, Bbdestiny beCgins
Heroes never Bbturn or look Cback
They just Fride Bbthrough the sands of Ctime on the borderBbline C Dm C7 Bb C
So they Fride Bbto the desert Cwind, down a dusty Ftrail, Bbdestiny beCgins
