The Durango Song

A pay phone call from Durango
Baby, bring me back home
Don’t know who I was pleasin'
When I left you alone
Swear to God if I go deeper in the desert
I’ll get sand in my eyes, in my eyes

I’m driving west
To where I love best
All the places I will go
Another state line
Mile marker signs
Faces I don’t know

Next time I call
Don’t pick up the phone
Let me use all my change
Please, don’t console these thoughts
Let me rearrange
Swear to God if I go deeper in the desert
I’ll never make it out alive

I’m driving east
Where the two halves meet
As fast as I can go
Another state line
Mile marker signs
Who am I? I don’t know

I called you crying
But I don’t want you to send me money again
If I come back we’ll be stuck
In the same roundabout
And when I hit rock bottom
I want you to leave me there
'Cause this ain’t nothin' I can’t bare
This ain’t nothin’
This ain’t nothin’
This ain’t nothin’ that I can’t bare
