I'm Leaving Houston
When I put my boots on
I'm driving that lonesome highway
South of the border
To the crystal clear waters
Of a town called durango bay
There's a woman Maria
I can't wait to see her
It's there that she waits patiently
With a young senorita
By the name of Rosita
They say sure looks alot like me
South of the border
By crystal clear waters
I'm going back there someday
Where a woman waits for me
I'll never be lonely
On the banks of Durango Bay
Break
In those days long ago
How I loved that girl so
We were so happy and free
Spent our days together
Thought I'd stay together
In the town of Durango Bay
But her father and mother
Thought she should wed another
So they sent Maria away
But not before we made love
Under the stars above
in the fields of Durango Bay
Chorus
South of the border
By crystal clear waters
I'm going back there someday
Where a woman waits for me
I'll never be lonely
On the banks of Durango Bay
(slowly spoken words with one strum of each chord)
I still feel the flame burn
It's for her my heart yearns
What a terrible price to pay
But now she is calling
Once again I am falling
For the girl from Durango Bay
Chorus
Out
