Trivia, story behind the song, etc.
Here’s a story about two people, both out wandering around the West, too focused on their own lives to realize that in fact they are each actually quite lost. They happen to meet by way of an automotive breakdown, followed by becoming trapped by a storm. By the time the weather clears, well, everything is different. This is the one and only song of mine with a geologist as the protagonist. I love geologists! They’re so… earthy (heh, heh). [1]
Lyrics
© 2001 Eileen Hemphill-Haley / H2 Tunes (ASCAP) Tuning: DADGAD Verse 1 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 Verse 2 Now me, I know these highways I know the lay of the land that they’re drawn across I am a mapmaker I’m not capable of getting lost But there I was stranded just a few short miles from Durango Chorus Durango… Durango… Verse 3 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 Verse 4 The snow started blowing before we’d made it even two more miles The roads were getting treacherous and 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… Bridge 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 Verse 5 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 mapmaker And every map I make now leads to Durango Verse 6 And me, I known these highways I know the rocks and the hills and the canyon lands If anyone can find you Darlin’ you know I surely can I know where to find you, yeah I know that I will find you in Durango
