Borderline

<br>Ridin` on to El Paso, followin` the rodeo <br>When she stole my heart under a desert moon <br>In a bordertown down in Mexico, where all the lonely cowboys go <br>Stands a mission church at the end of a crowded street <br>Was there I first caught sight of her alone, my heart began to stir <br>She was kneeling there at the foot of a painted cross <br><br>On the borderline, <br>Crossing the heartlands again and again <br>On the borderline, <br>If lightning would strike me, I`d never know when <br>My heart must always remain on the borderline <br>Had to stay another day if only just to find a way to meet that girl who prays by the lonesome grave <br>They say she lost her only one to a battle of the blazing guns <br>Now she cries each night and her tears stain the desert sand <br>She vowed to never give her heart to someone else if they should part <br>I`ll never meet those eyes to tell her I love her so <br><br>I`m on the borderline <br>Crossing the heartlands again and again <br>On the borderline <br>If lightning would strike me I`d never know when <br>My heart must always remain on the borderline
