Song Lyrics

In a cloud of dust 'cross Texas, south of San Anton
A law-man and a cowboy push their horses on
Racing toward the Rio, running out of time
They had to catch the outlaws before they crossed the borderline

Well the law-man wanted justice, the cowboy needs revenge
They tracked the outlaws' horses up to the water's edge
There across the Rio, a badge ain't worth a dime
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the border line

So they ride to the desert wind, down a dusty trail
Destiny begins, heroes never turn or look back
They just ride through the sands of time, on the borderline

In the safety of the Badlands, the outlaws stopped their run
The campfire rings (I think, maybe rages)
With laughter of the evil things they've done
How they've 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

Beckham, Fowler, Gentry, Hanson
