They came to Cordura, they came
to Cordura,
In search of destiny as
wand'rers have always gone.
And there in Cordura, somewhere
in Cordura, the hand of destiny awaited a certain one.
Bring your hopes and dreams to
Cordura, only if they dwell deep in your heart,
For the old men say, on each
chosen day in Cordura,
They will bless your dreams or
tear them apart.
They came to Cordura, they came
to Cordura, and soon they're gone like all the rest,
But for him whose dream was
blessed in Cordura, I found my love in Cordura.
