"Durango" lyrics

He slips on his cowboy boots and walks on out the door
And he's got a gun in both holsters 'cause he's ready for war
Well, you can feel the ground rumbling like thunder from his horse
And he's a-headed into town to settle up a score

You see: a drunk man did some dumb shit and put his hands on his wife
And son that cowboy rode up in the dead of the night
That man begged for forgiveness and pleaded for his life
But down there in Durango they don't play with knives

He was baptized in blood, covered in mud and regret
As he float down that river that was slowly turning red
He learned quicker than that bullet flies
That crooked men die
In Durango
In Durango

There was an old preacher man that fell in love with a whore
That preacher may have loved God but he loved that woman more
One night John was drunk and wound up naked at her place
But he woke up next morning he had a barrel in his face

He was baptized in blood, covered in lust and regret
As he float down that river that was slowly turning red
He learned quicker than that bullet flies
That crooked men die
In Durango

So, all you crooked sum bitches that are looking for war
You can find all of that and a whole lot more
In Durango
In Durango
