| [00:17.67] |
In the quiet hours before the dawn |
| [00:22.98] |
Buttons up his uniform |
| [00:27.12] |
Takes out his badge and pins it on |
| [00:31.41] |
For thirty years he's enforced the law |
| [00:35.10] |
And he drives out on the Rio Grande |
| [00:40.32] |
Across the dry and sunburned land |
| [00:44.64] |
And on this side he takes his stand again |
| [00:53.40] |
They won't get through this bordertown |
| [00:57.81] |
He turns them back he stands his ground |
| [01:02.19] |
But still they come because they know |
| [01:06.57] |
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold |
| [01:10.23] |
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown |
| [01:26.46] |
It's not his place to say what's fair |
| [01:30.78] |
He's done his duty all these years |
| [01:35.43] |
In his mind the law's the law |
| [01:38.10] |
But then at dusk she wades across |
| [01:43.08] |
And he sees the hope that's in her eyes |
| [01:48.30] |
Child with dreams of a brand new life |
| [01:52.71] |
It's not his job to say what's right or wrong |
| [02:01.47] |
They won't get through this bordertown |
| [02:05.85] |
He turns them back he stands his ground |
| [02:10.22] |
But still they come because they know |
| [02:14.61] |
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold |
| [02:18.30] |
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown |
| [02:29.88] |
As night falls over Mexico |
| [02:32.79] |
He waits there as she comes ashore |
| [02:38.85] |
Finished there's a moment of faith |
| [02:43.32] |
He turns his back and he walks away |
| [03:14.40] |
They won't get through this bordertown |
| [03:17.31] |
This bordertown |
| [03:18.78] |
He turns them back he stands his ground |
| [03:22.68] |
Stands his ground |
| [03:23.16] |
But still they come because they know |
| [03:26.28] |
Cause they know |
| [03:27.57] |
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold |
| [03:31.23] |
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown |
