Intro: 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 Single notes: (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 L
