Beggin' your pardon there stranger You look like you're new to this town We're a long way away from the beach here You won't see many gringos around Well I come from West Colorado And I've wandered this world far and wide I've lived for some years in the shadows And my eyes are unused to this light If you buy me a strong drink of whiskey I will tell you the tale of my life It's long and it's sad but it fits me And it may bring a tear to your eyeAll the men of my family were solidiers The hard fightin' straight talkin' kind When my turn came all that was over But I'd already made up my mind I was there when we blew though Grenada And I still have to ask myself why Then we took down that fool Noriega That's where I caught the good colonel's eye Well he asked me if I loved my country And before I had time to reply He regaled me with tales of past glories I believed every one of his liesSo I left my old life behind me Turned my back on my family and friends And I did everything that they asked me And I lost some sleep now and again And I lived like a thief and assassin I smuggled their poisons sometimes Until I asked the wrong question in passin'And the colonel himself dropped the dime So if you're ever in west Colorado Tell the folks in Durango goodbye There's a price on my head and I can't go So I'll just wait around here 'til I die
