There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
There's a haze around the western Texas moon
Someone waits beside the Rio Colorado
'Cause I promised to come back to Texas soon
When dawn comes breakin' through, this lonesome buckaroo
Will be ridin' down the trail I used to roam
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
And it calls me to my western Texas home
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
There's a haze around the western Texas moon
Someone waits beside the Rio Colorado
For I promised I'd come back to Texas soon
When dawn comes breakin' through, this lonesome buckaroo
Will be ridin' down the trail I used to roam
There's a rainbow on the Rio Colorado
And it calls me to my western Texas home
