Durango Mountain Caballero Lyrics - John Denver

You know I love the trail I'm on 

And the friends who ride with me 

The country that we're passing through 

Is a paradise to see, a haven for my spirit 

The homeland of my dreams 

My heart flies through the wilderness 

And on an eagle's wings 

And, oh, I love the waterfall 

And the way the river sings 

From snow capped peaks both proud and tall

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Through forests deep and green 

The highway of the mountains 

The lifeblood of the land 

I can hear my mother speak to me 

And hold my father's hand 

Durango Mountain Caballero 

Take me for a ride 

On the backbone of this mighty land 

The continental divide 

To the place where earth and heaven 

Meet the mountains and the sky 

In the heart of Colorado, Rocky Mountain High 

And, oh, I love the campfire 

And the circle that I'm in 

The stories and the laughter 

They should never, ever end

Forever in my memory 

Forever in my song 

On a San Juan mountain trail ride 

I'll carry you along
