She's a long way from Houston
A long way from them ol' Texas blues
She came down from Telluride
On a steam train bound for somewhere new
There's a rainbow in the mountains
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
Standin' in the rain in Durango
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Standin' in the rain in Durango
She's just waitin' on some cowboy to
Lasso her heart and take her home
Well she fell in with some field hippies
Went noodle dancin' in a tie-dyed dress
Then a Rocky Mountain rain came
And they all got soakin' wet
She wound up with a backstage pass
Was hangin' with the pickers in the band
Till her heart got broke by a banjo man
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand
Standin' in the rain in Durango
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Standin' in the rain in Durango
She's just waitin' 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
He pulled up in a Mustang
She got in and they just rode away
They headed west into the sunset
Mascara runnin' down her face
Standin' in the rain in Durango
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone
Standin' in the rain in Durango
She's just waitin' on some cowboy to
Lasso her heart and take her home
