"Rio Colorado" lyrics

"Rio Colorado"

There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
There's a haze around the western Texas moon
Someone waits beside the Rio Colorado
'Cause I promised to come back to Texas soon

When dawn comes breakin' through this lonesome buckaroo
We'll be riding' down a trail I used to roam
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
And it calls me to my western Texas home

When dawn comes breakin' through this lonesome buckaroo
We'll be riding' down a trail I used to roam
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
And it calls me to my western Texas home
