Lirik
[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
I heard all he said but I didn't believe
Not till I tried to keep him close to me
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I rode all day tracking him down
Spent the night on dangerous ground
Smelling the smoke of the distant fire
Feeling the flame of my desires
[Verse 5]
But nothing in the desert is what it seems
All that I know is in my dreams
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
I crossed the river as the sun came up
Drank his Tequila from a silver cup
Traded his bags for a sack of gold
And got a little taste of Mexico
[Verse 8]
If he's gonna love me, he's gotta get tough
Life on the border is a little bit rough
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Oh, girls ride horses too
I did what I had to do
Oh, girls ride horses too
I like to ride 'em too
