"Lonesome Dove" lyrics

Well I left lonesome dove
For the country up above
And the soft warmth of her touch
Through the night
I hated to be leaving
But it was cutting season
She was standing there
With water in her eyes

In Durango, Colorado
I held the necklace that I bought her
While tipping one
At the Diamond Belle Saloon
Then I hitched up to Wyoming
With a man who didn't know me
He said he had some ponies
Up for sale

It's a Coke and Pepsi world
They can have the whole thing, girl
Long as I know your love is true
Everybody's chasing that glory
Lord, it's the same old story
But I got all my money down on you

When I finally made Montana
I could only think of my Ana
In the sweet grass hills
I could almost hear her voice
This country, it just grows
That's progress, I suppose
Red, white or blue
You're my only choice

It's a Coke and Pepsi world
They can have the whole thing, girl
Long as I know your love is true
Everybody's chasing that glory
Lord, it's the same old story
But I got all my money down on you

It's a Coke and Pepsi world
They can have the whole thing, girl
Long as I know your love is true
Everybody's chasing that glory
Lord, it's the same old story
But I got all my money down on you

I left lonesome dove
For the county up above
