     Dm                         C
In a cloud of dust cross Texas, south of San Antone

    Bb                                 A7
The lawman and the cowboy pushed their horses on

Dm                    C
Racin' toward the Rio running out of time

     Bb                         A7                          Dm
They had to catch the outlaws before they crossed the borderline

                                    C
Well, the lawman wanted justice the cowboy needs revenge

     Bb                             A7
They tracked the Outlaws' horses up to the river's edge

    Dm                     C
And there across the Rio a badge ain't worth a dime

    Bb                         A7                          Dm
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the borderline
[CHORUS]
        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins

             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back

          F    Bb                   C                 Bb    Dm
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline
[VERSE 2]
       Dm                         C
In the safety of the badlands the outlaws stopped their run

    Bb                              A7
The campfire rings with laughter of evil things they've done

           Dm                        C
How they'd taken all they wanted and killed the cowboy's wife

    Bb                             A7                 Dm
And knew no one would follow them,    cross the borderline

                           C
The lawman and the cowboys stepped out of the dark

           Bb                               A7
And it was two against the twenty and every bullet found its mark

    Dm                      C
And so goes the legend that out there in the night

    Bb                          A7                     Dm
The two still ride together somewhere beyond the borderline
[CHORUS]
        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins

             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back

          F    Bb                   C                 Bb   C Dm C7 Bb C
They just ride through the sands of time on the borderline

        F    Bb            C                  F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind, down a dusty trail, destiny begins

             Bb           C
Heroes never turn or look back

        F    Bb            C                 F      Bb        C
So they ride to the desert wind down a dusty trail, destiny begins

                 Bb           C
And heroes never turn or look back
