Collin Raye - To The Border & Beyond Lyrics
(collin raye)Well duggan was a purebred hill country kickerHe loved to shoot his pistolsAnd he loved to drink his liquorHis daddy had long since given up on tryinTo tame himHe knew he hated sweatin in the fieldsHe couldnt blame himBut when his only son robbed the chillicothe flyerHe guessed the days were numberedTill hed have to face the fireWell duggan rode up to the houseHis pa ran out to meet himHe said son, whyd you do it?Duggan said I had my reasonsHis daddy told him, boy, youve always beenSo full of juice, but any day your neckIt will be hangin in a noose.Duggan winked and mounted, stirred hisHorse into a latherHe never looked back... guess it really didnt matterIt wasnt too long till a team of texas rangersPounded on the door, man, facesFilled with angerDuggans papa opened up, said no need to shout,I dont know where he isBut I know what hes all about.He likes to dance out to the edgeHe likes to cut to the chaseYou see hes never been one for reinin backTo a slow and steady paceIf you ask me where hes boundWell, boys, I just cant respondBut from the look in his eyesIts a safe bet hes headedTo the border and beyond.Well the moral of this taleIs you cant change a leopards spotsDont blame a man for failing to beSomething that hes notSo girl, with that in mindWont you step into the lightWell move just left of centerTill we finally get it rightRemember Im a push it to the limitKind of guyYou may ask me how well do itBut no need to ask me whyI like to dance out to the edgeI like to cut to the chaseYou see, Ive never been one for reinin backTo a slow and steady paceIf you ask me where were boundWell, honey, I just cant respondBut from the look in your eyesIts a safe bet were headedTo the border and beyond.
