DURANGO
© 2001 Eileen Hemphill-Haley

Out of Four Corners
Down a two-lane road with a one-track mind
Eyes ever forward
Not a thought askew, not a glance behind
Cool wind blowing
Pushing me hard in the direction of Durango

Now me, I know these highways
I know the lay of the land that they’re drawn across
I am a map maker
I’m not capable of getting lost
But there I was stranded just a few short miles from Durango

Durango… Durango…


I met him on the roadside
Apparently I’d run out of gas
One of life’s little metaphors
I see that now, thinking back
Would he take me to the next town?
He said, what is the next town?
I said, Durango

The snow started blowing before we’d made it even two more miles
The roads were getting treacherous
It was clear we’d have to stop for a while
He said, let’s find a cup of coffee
See what we can learn about the weather
in Durango

Durango… Durango…


He was working on a novel about love gone right in a world gone wrong
Satellite positioning
That’s what I was working on
He said, this storm is getting vicious
Maybe we should find a place to sleep
A satellite wouldn’t get a fix on us again for seven weeks


If love wants to find you it doesn’t need a compass or a map
Don’t have to draw me a picture
Believe me, I know all about that
I am a map maker
And every map I make now leads to Durango

And me, I known these highways
I know the rocks and the hills and the canyonlands
If anyone can find you
Darlin’ you know I surely can
Oh I know were to find you
I know that I will find you in Durango
