Garth Brooks In Lonesome Dove Lyrics

In Lonesome Dove Lyrics

She was a girl on a wagon train 
Haded west across the plains 
The train got lost in a summer storm 
They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home 
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain 
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train 
And she looked down and her heart was gone 
The train went west but she stayed on 
In Lonesome Dove 
 
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand 
A blooming rose in a bed of sand 
She loved the man who wore a star 
A Texas Ranger known near and far 
So they got married and they had a child 
But times were touch and the West was wild 
So it was no surprise the day she learned 
That her Texas man would not return 
To Lonesome Dove 
 
Back to back with the Rio Grande 
A Christian woman in the devil's land 
She learned the language and she learned to fight 
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights 
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove 
 
She watched her boy grow into a man 
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand 
He wore his star for all to see 
He was a Texas lawman legacy 
The one day word blew into town 
It seemed the men that shot his father down 
Had robbed a bank in Cherico 
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico 
Was Lonesome Dove 
 
The shadows stretched across the land 
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande 
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street 
The men lay at the ranger's feet 
But legend tells to this very day 
That shots were comin' from an alleyway 
Though no one knows who held the gun 
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone 
In Lonesome Dove 
Back to back with the Rio Grande 
A Christian woman in the devil's land 
She learned the language and she learned to fight 
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights 
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
