Durango from Kaleido by Greg Baker Everett

Durango

Verse:
A three day beard and black hat, shoulder guns and chaps
And a horse that’s built for ridin’ long and hard
With the gold from Durango, on it’s way to Mexico
And the outlaw, its self appointed guard

But he’s in for the run of his life
With the marshall right behind, and always in sight

Chorus:
He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight
He should’a rode on through Durango
He picked the wrong man to fight

Verse:
White hat and white horse, and white pearl handled guns o’course
And a reputation spreadin’ far and wide
Well everybody’s heard, he’s the best, that’s the word
He won’t give the outlaw any place to hide

But he’s in for the run of his life
With the outlaw makin’ ground, it’s hard to keep him in sight

Chorus:

Verse:
Well he’s got his man so many times, but now he’s laid it on the line
It’s been years since anyone has dared
There’s a weight upon his shoulders, he can feel he’s gotten older
His reputation may be more than he can bear

But he’s in for the run of his life
With the outlaw makin’ ground, it’s hard to keep him in sight

Chorus:
(He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight)

Yeah he’s in for the run of his life
With the marshall right behind, and always in sight

Chorus:
(He could’a rode on through Durango
He took a wrong turn tonight
He should’a rode on through Durango
Now someone’s got to pay with his life
