[VERSE 1]
     Dm                        
In a cloud of dust cross Texas, 
 C
south of San Antone
    Bb                          
The lawman and the cowboy pushed 
       A7
their horses on
Dm                    C
Racin' toward the Rio running out of
 time
     Bb                         A7
They had to catch the outlaws 
                          Dm
before they crossed the borderline
Well, the lawman wanted justice the 
C
cowboy needs revenge
     Bb                            
They tracked the Outlaws' horses up
 A7
 to the river's edge
    Dm                     C
And there across the Rio a badge 
ain't worth a dime
    Bb                         A7 
The law was in their own hands 
                         Dm
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
Heroes never turn or look back
          F    Bb                 
They just ride through the sands 
  C                 Bb    Dm
of time on the borderline


[VERSE 2]
       Dm                         
In the safety of the badlands the 
C
outlaws stopped their run
    Bb                             
The campfire rings with laughter of
 A7
 evil things they've done
           Dm                      
How they'd taken all they wanted 
  C
and killed the cowboy's wife
    Bb                             
And knew no one would follow them, 
A7                 Dm
   cross the borderline
                           C
The lawman and the cowboys stepped 
out of the dark
           Bb                    
And it was two against the twenty 
           A7
and every bullet found its mark
    Dm                      C
And so goes the legend that out 
there in the night
    Bb                     
The two still ride together 
     A7                     Dm
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
Heroes never turn or look back
          F    Bb                 
They just ride through the sands 
  C                 Bb   C Dm C7
of time on the borderline
 Bb C

        F    Bb            C     
So they ride to the desert wind, 
             F      Bb        C
down a dusty trail, destiny begins
             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back
        F    Bb            C     
So they ride to the desert wind 
            F      Bb        C
down a dusty trail, destiny begins
                 Bb           C
And heroes never turn or look back
