lyrics

She's a long way from Houston
A long way from them ol' Texas Blues
And she came down from Telluride
On a steam train bound for somewhere new
There's a rainbow on a mountainside
She's waiting for that sun to shine on through
You wouldn't know the tears for the rain
If you hadn't walked in her boots

[Chorus]
Standing in the rain in Durango
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
She's just waiting for some cowboy
To Lasso her heart and take her home

She wound up with some field hippies
Noodle dancing in a tie dye dress
And then a Rocky Mountain rain came
And they all got soaking wet
Somehow she wound up with a backstage pass
Hanging with the pickers in the band
Until her heart got broken by a banjo man
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand

She had no destination, she was just looking for a ride
She had all of her belongings
In a cardboard suitcase sitting by her side
Then he pulled up in a mustang,
She climbed in and they just rode away
Heading west into the sunset
Mascara running down her face.
