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 livin’ 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,
Chasin’ Laredo and Lady Luck.
His bags were full of who knows what?
I knew what I had to do.
Girls ride horses too.
I rode all day, trackin’ him down.
Spent the night on dangerous ground.
Smellin’ the smoke of the distant fire,
Feelin’ the flame of my desires.
Well, nothin’ in the desert is what it seems,
I ran up numbers in my dreams.
He rode away in a cloud of dust,
Chasin’ Laredo and Lady Luck.
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 up.
Drank his Tequila from a silver cup.
Traded his bags for a sack of gold,
An’ 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,
Chasin’ Laredo and Lady Luck.
His bags were full of who knows what?
I did what I had to do.
Oh, he rode away in a cloud of dust,
Chasin’ Laredo and Lady Luck.
His bags were full of who knows what?
I did what I had to do.
Girls ride horses too.
Girls ride horses too.
Oh, girls ride horses too.
I did what I had to do.
Oh, girls ride horses too.
I did what I had to do.
