When I was a young man in Sweetwater, Texas

Just one thing stayed on my mind

To ride a white horse, over Durango Mountain

And leave Sweetwater, Texas behind

But I turned 21, in Sweetwater, Texas

But just one thing made me stay there

I wanted to leave but I was in love with

The girl with the chestnut brown hair

Then came a time, when she said she'd be mine

And go any place, any time

So we rode a gray dog, over Durango Mountain

And left Sweetwater Texas behind

It was thunderin' and lightnin' when we left Nolan County

The bus rolled along through the night

And Old 36, was the magic black

Leading towards the stadium lights

Well we pulled into Houston at ten in the morning

Our hopes were a high as the sky

But hope turned to weeks, then to years, then forever

I never knew how fast time goes by

Cowboys in cars and country girls in bars

Somehow, it just don't seem fair,

And I wanted to die 'cause I knew I was losing,

The girl with the chestnut brown hair

So many times I've said, I'd rather be dead,

Than take it down and go back, and unclear my head

But if the good Lord sees his way to let me live one more day

I'm so tired of being alone

Gonna ride a white horse over Durango Mountain

And make Sweetwater, Texas my home
