Lyrics

In the far west of Texas
In the spring time of '73
Five shots broke the calm
And a sheriff collapsed to his knees.
And his killer was caught
And his killer would no more be free.
And then the deputy sheriff
Of Presidio County
Became a sheriff in whom
People believed.
In the eyes of the world, Lord,
He's Walking Tall
And down on the border
He is the law.
In his boots and his jeans
And his big Stetson hat
He stood a proud six feet and four
With his gun on his hip
And a star on his chest
A hero à la Louis L'Amour.
But south of the border
The whispers were starting to grow
That this gringo vaquero
Was far from a hero
En verdad he was the door.
Lo llaman La Puerta
Los que lo saben.
Pero en la frontera
Él es la ley.
In the eyes of the world, Lord,
He's Walking Tall
And down on the border
He is the law.
The grass and the cocaine
Poured over the border
And the sheriff made many arrests
Of drifters and hippies
And line cooks and burnouts
As he righteously posed for the press.
But the whispers grew louder
As 'ol Robert Chambers
And the drug lords in Old Mexico
Like El Zorro de Ojinaga
Y El Señor de Los Cielos
Moved product
Without being slowed.
Lo llaman La Puerta
Los que lo saben.
Pero en la frontera
Él es la ley.
In the eyes of the world, Lord,
He's Walking Tall
And down on the border
He is the law.
On the outskirts of Marfa
At the old county fairgrounds
On a cold night in December nine one
The sheriff's horse trailer
Sat loaded with cocaine
That measured just over a ton.
And Sam the Informant
Disgruntled with Robert
Told detectives what
They there would find
And Robert was busted
And the sheriff, disgusted,
Gave the world a piece of his mind.
He said the cops and the crooks
They're the same kinds of people
This you must understand
The only real difference
Between a cop and a crook
Is that the cop is wearing a badge.
Lo llaman La Puerta
Los que lo saben.
Pero en la frontera
Él era la ley.
In the eyes of the world, Lord,
He's Walking Tall
And down on the border
He was the law.
