He said life on the border is a little bit rough
If you're gonna love me, you gotta be tough
Beyond the law, anything goes
When you're living on the edge of Mexico
I heard all he said, but I didn't believe
Not till I tried to keep him close to me
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing the red and white lady with love
His bags were full of who knows what
I knew what I had to do
Girls ride horses too
I rode all day, tracking him down
Spent the night on dangerous ground
Smelling the smoke of a distant fire
Feeling the flame of my desire
But nothing in the desert is what it seems
All I see is the sun and the moon
All that I know is in my dreams
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing the red and white lady with love
His bags were full of who knows what
I knew what I had to do
Girls ride horses too
I crossed the river as the sun came through
Drank his tequila from a silver cup
Traded his bags for a sack of gold
And got a little taste of Mexico
If he's gonna love me, he's gotta get tough
Life on the border is a little bit rough
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing the red and white lady with love
His bags were full of who knows what
I knew what I had to do
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing the red and white lady with love
His bags were full of who knows what
I knew what I had to do
Girls ride horses too
Girls ride horses too
Girls ride horses too

Girls ride horses too
Girls ride horses too
I did what I had to do
I did what I had to do
Girls ride horses too
I like to ride too
