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
