Lyrics
Durango - written by Nolan McKelvey (MCNOLAN MUSIC BMI) nolanmckelvey.com
It was a sky only a rancher would know
His old wise eyes scan as the land unrolls
Sure as the cattle gonna lay before the rain
So does he know these hills and plains of Durango
Washed out roads carry faded memories
A man of few words and even fewer unpleasantries
His face is cold and hard as a blowing snow
The lines he rides are still charred from the fires of Durango
No ember glows he knows that he chose to be alone
He said, "This is how I prefer to go when I go."
At Deadhorse Camp there's a cottonwood along the riverside
And when I die give me one last ride floating in the waters of Durango
Animas... flow over me... take my ashes to the river
Animas... flow over me... take my ashes when I go
