He said life on the border is a little bit roughIf you're gonna love me, you gotta be toughBeyond the law, anything goesWhen you're living on the edge of MexicoI heard all he said, but I didn't believeNot till I tried to keep him close to meHe rode away in a cloud of dustChasing the red and white lady with loveHis bags were full of who knows whatI knew what I had to doGirls ride horses tooI rode all day, tracking him downSpent the night on dangerous groundSmelling the smoke of a distant fireFeeling the flame of my desireBut nothing in the desert is what it seemsAll I see is the sun and the moonAll that I know is in my dreamsHe rode away in a cloud of dustChasing the red and white lady with loveHis bags were full of who knows whatI knew what I had to doGirls ride horses tooI crossed the river as the sun came throughDrank his tequila from a silver cupTraded his bags for a sack of goldAnd got a little taste of MexicoIf he's gonna love me, he's gotta get toughLife on the border is a little bit roughHe rode away in a cloud of dustChasing the red and white lady with loveHis bags were full of who knows whatI knew what I had to doHe rode away in a cloud of dustChasing the red and white lady with loveHis bags were full of who knows whatI knew what I had to doGirls ride horses tooGirls ride horses tooGirls ride horses tooGirls ride horses tooGirls ride horses tooI did what I had to doI did what I had to doGirls ride horses tooI like to ride too
