[Verse 1]
Dm C
In a cloud of dust across Texas south of San Antone
Bb Asus4 A
A lawman and a cowboy pushed their horses on
Dm C
Racin' toward the Rio runnin' out of time
Bb A Dm
They had to catch the outlaws before they crossed the borderline
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Well, the lawman wanted justice, the cowboy needs revenge
Bb Asus4 A
They tracked the outlaws' horses up to the rivers edge
Dm C
And there across the the Rio a badge ain't worth a dime
Bb Asus4 A Dm
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the borderline
[Chorus]
F Bb C
So they ride to the desert wind
F Bb C
Down a dusty trail destiny begins
Bb C
And heros never turn or look back
F Bb C Bb C Dm
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline
[Verse 3]
Dm C
In the saftey of the badlands the outlaws stop their run
Bb Asus4 A
The campfire rings with laughter of the evil things they'd done
Dm C
How they'd taken all they wanted and they killed the cowboy's wife
Bb Asus4 A Dm
They knew no one would follow them across the borderline
[Verse 4]
Dm C
Now the lawman and the cowboy stepped out of the dark
Bb Asus4 A
Though it was two agsinst the twenty every bullet found its mark
Dm C
And so goes the legend that out there in the night
Bb Asus4 A Dm
The two still ride together somewhere beyond the borderline
[Chorus]
F Bb C
So they ride to the desert wind
F Bb C
Down a dusty trail destiny begins
Bb C
And heros never turn or look back
F Bb C Bb C Dm
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline
[Chorus]
F Bb C
So they ride to the desert wind
F Bb C
Down a dusty trail destiny begins
Bb C
And heros never turn or look back
F Bb C Bb C Dm
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline
