[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
