He loved to shoot his pistols
 And he loved to drink his liquor
 His daddy had long since given up on tryin?
 To tame him
 He knew he hated sweatin? in the fields
 He couldn?t blame him
 But when his only son robbed the Chillicothe Flyer,
 He guessed the days were numbered
 Till he?d have to face the fire.

 Well Duggan rode up to the house
 His pa ran out to meet him
 He said "Son, why?d you do it?"
 Duggan said "I had my reasons"
 His daddy told him, "Boy, you?ve always been
 So full of juice , but any day your neck
 It will be hangin? in a noose."
 Duggan winked and mounted, stirred his
 Horse into a lather
 He never looked back .... guess it really didn?t matter.

 Bridge : It wasn?t too long till a team of Texas Ranger
 Pounded on the door, man, faces
 Filled with anger
 Duggan?s papa opened up, said
 "No need to shout,
 I don?t know where he is
 But I know what he?s all about."

 Chorus

 He likes to dance out to the edge
 He likes to cut to the chase
 You see he?s never been one for reinin? back
 To a slow and steady pace
 If you ask me where he?s bound
 Well, boys, I just can?t respond
 But from the look in his eyes
 It?s safe bet he?s headed
 To the border and beyond.

 Well the moral of this tale
 Is you can?t change a leopard?s spots
 Don?t blame a man for failing to be
 Something that he?s not
 So girl, with that in mind
 Won?t you step into the light
 We?ll move jsut left of center
 Till we finally get it right
 Remember I?m a push it to the limit
 Kind of guy
 You may ask me how we?ll do it
 But no need to ask me why.

 2nd Chorus
 I Like to dance out to the edge
 I like to cut to the chase
 You see I?ve never been one for reinin? back
 To a slow and steady pace
 If you ask me where we?re bound
 Well, honey, I just can?t respond
 But from the look in your eyes
 It?s safe bet we?re headed
 To the border and beyond
