The Borderline Songtext

von Alabama

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"The Borderline" von Alabama erzählt die Geschichte von Lawmen und Cowboys, die in einer Verfolgungsjagd durch Texas sin...

In a cloud of dust cross Texas, south of San Antone
The lawmen and the cowboy pushed their horses on
Racin' toward the Rio, running out of time
They had to catch the Outlaws before they crossed the borderline

The lawmen wanted justice, the cowboy revenge
They tracked the Outlaws' horses to the rivers edge
And there across the Rio a badge ain't worth a dime
The law was in their own hands once they crossed the borderline

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 safty of the badlands the Outlaws stopped their run
The campfire rings with laughter of evil things they've done
How they'd taken all they wanted and killed the cowboy's wife
And knew no one would follow them across the borderline

The lawmen and the cowboy stepped out of the dark
And it was two against the twenty, each bullet found its mark
And so goes the legend that out there in the night
The two still ride together somewhere beyond the borderline

(Repeat chorus)
