Rain in Durango lyrics

She's a long way from Houston

Long way from them old Texas blues

And she came down from Telluride

On a steam train bound for somewhere new

There's a rainbow in the mountains

And she's waiting on the sun to shine on through

You can't tell the tears from the rain

If you ain't walked a mile in her boots

Standing in the rain in Durango

Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Standing in the rain in Durango

She's waiting on some cowboy

To lasso her heart and take her home

Well, she fell in with some field hippies

Went needle dancing in a tie dye dress

Then a Rocky Mountain rain came

And they all got soakin' wet

She wound up with a backstage pass

Hangin' with the pickers in the band

'Til her heart got broke by a banjo man

Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand

Standing in the rain in Durango

Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Standing in the rain in Durango

She's just waiting on some cowboy

To lasso her heart and take her home

She had all of her belongings

In a cardboard suitcase sittin' by her side

And she had no destination

She was just lookin' for a ride

So he pulled up in a Mustang

She got in and they just rode away

Headed west into the sunset

Mascara runnin' down her face

Standing in the rain in Durango

Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Standing in the rain in Durango

She's waiting on some cowboy

To lasso her heart and take her home

Standing in the rain in Durango
