Girls Ride Horses Too (LYRICS)
Written by: Alice Randall, Mark Sanders
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
Chasing 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 tracking him down
Spent the night on dangerous ground
Smelling the smoke of the distant fire
Feeling the flame of my desires
Well, nothing in the desert is what it seems
I ran the numbers in my dreams
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing 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
And got a little taste of Mexico
If he's gonna love me, he's gotta get tough
‘Cause life on the border is a little bit rough
He rode away in a cloud of dust
Chasing 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
