Fuckin’ in the Durango
“They Always Do”
Drove down from Laredo in a Ford that won’t reverse
She had a pack of Red Man and a Bible in her purse
She was leanin’ on the jukebox in a shirt that said fuck yes
Boots up on the bar like she owned the whole damn West
Said her daddy rode bulls and her mama poured Crown
She took her whiskey like a dare and she never backed down
She said she’s got some roomies so we couldn’t go in
But I figured it’s her ol’ man and she just won’t admit the sin
Chorus
Now I’m fuckin’ in the Durango
Where the wind knows my name
The bed’s got a bullet in the headboard
And the mirror won’t look the same
I came here to forget her
But damn if she didn’t know
How to make a man feel holy
Then leave him feelin’ like a whore
There’s a Mary on the rearview sways heavy with regret
Her scent’s still on my flannel and I ain’t burned it yet
She kissed like a pistol cocked and ready to fire
Told me I was just the next man to climb in the briar
She put her forty on the dash stashed a fifth under the chair
Threw her clothes out the window and pulled back her hair
She said you ride bulls or just run from pain
I said what’s the damn difference ’cept the bruises don’t stay
Chorus
Yeah I’m fuckin’ in the Durango
With a ghost I can’t outride
The sunset watched us quietly
Like it knew I’d never decide
I came here for silence
But she screamed like the saints fell low
And I gave her all my whiskey
’Til my sins began to show
She said Mexican boys break easy
And I don’t fix what I wreck
Hell I left my hat on the fence post
And I ain’t gone back to get it yet
Outro
Now I’m leavin’ in the Durango
But part of her stays in my head
Where the hurtin’ sways like a promise
And her cigarette burns red
I came here a drifter
But I left like a man who knows
That not all scars are ugly
And not all fuckin’s for show
