Story Behind The Song

I've been to Durango, and when I played my Collings guitar that was recently worked on by Ed Clark I was reminded of Durango

Lyrics

I'm going to Durango
And I'm going with my dreams
I'm headed for the mountain
Where the air is fresh and clean
The sky at night is jet black
And filled with silver stars
I'm going to Durango and I'm takin' my guitar

I'll sing "You Are My Sunshine"
And all those cowboy songs
I'll sing away my sorrows
Put 'em back where they belong
And I'll never have to worry 'bout
The things that I do now
When I'm in Durango we all get along somehow

Get along, get along
Get along, get along
'Cause I'm going to Durango
Headin' out for Durango
I'm goin' to Durang-o
With my dreams

guitar intro

Let the wind fill the sky
Let the sun fill my eyes
Let the mountains standing strong touch the sky

guitar intro

I'm goin' to Durango
And I'm takin' my guitar
Hear it echo off the mountains
Way up to that western star
I'm goin' to Durango
Beneath the western sky
I'm goin' to Durango
Let my troubles pass me by

Pass me by, pass me by
I'm goin' to Durango
Headin' out for Durango
I'm goin' to Durang-o
Let my troubles pass me by
