From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Inspiration
Rusty Young said of the song: "'Rose of Cimarron' is a song I wrote after I picked up a brochure while we [Poco] were on tour in Oklahoma in 1973. It told a story of a woman who took in outlaws in the 1800's. She fed them, mended their wounds and sent them on their way. Or so they say. ... [W]hen I played 'Rose' for the band, everyone wanted to make it a Poco record."[1]
