To The Border And Beyond

(Collin Raye) Well Duggan was a purebred hill country kicker He loved to shoot his pistols And he loved to drink his liquor His daddy had long since given up on tryin` To tame him He knew he hated sweatin` in the fields He couldn`t blame him But when his only son robbed the Chillicothe Flyer He guessed the days were numbered Till he`d have to face the fire Well Duggan rode up to the house His pa ran out to meet him He said "Son, why`d you do it?" Duggan said "I had my reasons" His daddy told him, "Boy, you`ve always been So full of juice, but any day your neck It will be hangin` in a noose." Duggan winked and mounted, stirred his Horse into a lather He never looked back... guess it really didn`t matter It wasn`t too long till a team of Texas Rangers Pounded on the door, man, faces Filled with anger Duggan`s papa opened up, said "No need to shout, I don`t know where he is But I know what he`s all about." He likes to dance out to the edge He likes to cut to the chase You see he`s never been one for reinin` back To a slow and steady pace If you ask me where he`s bound Well, boys, I just can`t respond But from the look in his eyes It`s a safe bet he`s headed To the border and beyond. Well the moral of this tale Is you can`t change a leopard`s spots Don`t blame a man for failing to be Something that he`s not So girl, with that in mind Won`t you step into the light We`ll move just left of center Till we finally get it right Remember I`m a push it to the limit Kind of guy You may ask me how we`ll do it But no need to ask me why I like to dance out to the edge I like to cut to the chase You see, I`ve never been one for reinin` back To a slow and steady pace If you ask me where we`re bound Well, honey, I just can`t respond But from the look in your eyes It`s a safe bet we`re headed To the border and beyond.
