Sweetwater Texas - The Charlie Daniels Band

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

Well I turned twenty-one there in Sweetwater Texas

And just one thing made me stay there

I wanted to leave but I was in love with

The girl with the chestnut brown hair

There came a time

When she said she be mine

Go any place anytime

So we rode a gray dog over Durango Mountain

And left Sweetwater Texas behind

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

The bus rolled along through the night

And ole thirty-six was a magic black demon

Leading towards the cities bright lights

We pulled into Houston at ten in the morning

Our hopes were as high as the sky

But hope turned to weeks then to years then forever

I never knew how fast time goes by

Cowboys in the 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 down and go back and that's clear 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
