A Border Romance Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was a nobleman's daughter
He was a dirt-poor cowhand
On the Mexican boarder
By the old Rio Grande
How he courted and won her
No one ever knew
But they fled in the night
By the quarter-moon's light
When he asked for her hand

[Verse 2]
They fled from her family
And their hot angry guns
They fled through the desert
The two hunted ones
They fled to a future
That neither could see
But their young love was strong
And it carried them on
To their destiny

[Verse 3]
They fled toward the north star
Through cactus and sand
They fled through the desert
And the empty badlands
It was love that compelled them
To run in the night
Through rivers and streams
Mirages like dreams
To a far distant land

[Verse 4]
They rode on for ages
Through the hot barren waste
Looking over their shoulders
For those who gave chase
They forted wild waters
In the dark of the night
Where the stars in their eyes
Mirrored stars in the skies
As they rode to the light

[Verse 5]
In the hills of Montana
Where the broad rivers flow
In a snug little cabin
Quite a few years ago
My Grandma and Grandpa
Holding hands by the fire
Told of danger and chance
Of a border romance
And the love that still burns
