Lyrics[]
Born to ride with destiny
Born to be a cowboy
John Grady had a vision
A dream that could not fail
He was born to be a cowboy
And ride the open trail
He left his Texas past behind
He knew he had to go
Across the mighty river
Down into Mexico
A friend was riding with him
Both of them too young
Though solid in the saddle
And handy with a gun
With a vision of the future
John Grady set his mind
Riding far away
From the past he left behind
Born to ride with destiny
Born to be a cowboy
Trouble overtook 'em
Just past the Rio Grande
A stolen horse, a missing gun
Bad men in a bad land
One casualty in two
The odds are never kind
John Grady headed south
To the dream he hoped to find
Don Hector was a rancher
He saw promise in the man
Worked him mendin' fences
And riding on his land
But when the rancher's daughter
Lit his heart on fire
Trouble was a-brewin'
Caused by his great desire
Born to ride with destiny
Born to be a cowboy
Rosa loved John Grady
It caused her tears to flow
No matter how she cried
Her daddy wouldn't let her go
It's hard to say what happened
And where to place the blame
Did that boy disappear
Or head back from where he came
Rosa never knew for sure
Her tears would never cease
She lived her life alone
Her father died in peace
Born to ride with destiny
Born to be a cowboy
Born to ride with destiny
Born to be a cowboy
