When I was a young man in Sweetwater Texas

Just one thing stayed on my mind

To ride a white horse over Durango mountain

And leave Sweetwater Texas behind

But I turned twenty one there in Sweetwater Texas

Just one thing made me stay there

I wanted to leave, but I was in love

The girl with the chestnut brown hair

And there came a time,

when she said shed be mine

And go any place any time

So we rode a grey dog over Durango mountain

And left Sweetwater Texas behind

Solo

It was thundering and lightning when we left Nolan County

The bus rolled along through the night

And old 36 was a magic black demon

leading towards the citys bright lights

we pulled into Houston at ten in the morning

our hopes were as high as the sky

but hopes turn to weeks, then years, then forever

I never knew how fast time goes by

And cowboys sellin cars

And country girls in bars

Somehow just don’t seem fair

And I wanted to die cause I knew I was loosing

The girl with the chestnut brown hair

Solo

So many times I said

Id rather be dead

Than take downs to go to bed

And ups to clear my head

But If the good lord sees his way

To let me live one more day

(HOLD)

Im so tired of being alone

Gonna ride a white horse over Durango mountain

And make Sweetwater Texas my home.
