Red River Rock

Days reborn Fight with folded hands Pain left below The lifeless live again Run, run, run Red cold river Run, run, run Red cold river I can't feel anything at all This life has left me cold and damned I can't feel anything at all This love has led me to the end Stay reformed Erase this perfect world Hate left below The dark stray dog of war Run, run, run Red cold river I can't feel anything at all This life has left me cold and damned I can't feel anything at all This love has led me to the end Try to find a reason to live Try to find a reason to live Try to find a reason to live I can't feel anything at all (Try to find a reason to live) This life has left me cold and damned I can't feel anything at all (Try to find a reason to live) This love has let me to the end Run, run, run Red cold river

On the Oklahoma shore of that old red river I stand right here and curse my pride. That river runs deep That current is strong And the woman I love is on the other side. How did the love we made together Break apart and drift away Leave me lost and lonely On this crimson bank Red River Blue God pull me through I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two Texoma sky Tears in my eyes She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue They say everything is bigger Under that Texas moon I'll bet my right hand you won't find a bigger fool She's probably smiling somewhere tonight In someone else's arms I'm here dragging the muddy bottom For pieces of my heart Red River Blue God pull me through I'd walk through fire if that bridge hadn't burned in two Texoma sky Tears in my eyes She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue She said goodbye and now I'm red river blue

Meet me under that Red Fire Night Down by the willows and the Tennesse pines I'll bring the whiskey You bring the wine We'll make a few memories on a Red Fire Night Throw your bags in my old Bronco Three day weekend and its time to go Radio singing "Let the good times roll" Man, don't feel alright Twenty dollars on a check stop run Riding fast tryin' beat the sun To Hell with worries No, we ain't got none Man, don't feel alright Meet me under that Red Fire Night Down by the willows and the Tennesse pines I'll bring the whiskey You bring the wine We'll make a few memories on a Red Fire Night There's a magic when that west wind blows It's even better with a little George Jones Lost track of time, well, sometime ago Man, don't feel alright Out here where the stars shine bright Meet me under that Red Fire Night Down by the willows and the Tennesse pines I'll bring the whiskey You bring the wine We'll make a few memories on a Red Fire Night We'll hang our hat here tonight Raise a glass and we'll toast to good times Meet me under that Red Fire Night Down by the willows and the Tennesse pines I'll bring the whiskey You bring the wine We'll make a few memories on a Red Fire Night Meet me under the Red Fire Night Our hearts like stars they burn so bright I'll bring the rhythm You bring the rhyme We'll make a few memories on a Red Fire Night

From this valley they say you are going We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For they say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our pathways awhile Come and sit by my side, if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loved you so true I've been thinking a long time, my darling Of the sweet words you never would say Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish For they say you are gong away Do you think of the valley you're leaving O how lonely and how dreary it will be And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking And the pain you are causing to me They will bury me where you have wandered Near the hills where the daffodils grow When you're gone from the Red River Valley For I can't live without you I know

From this valley they say you are leaving We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For you take with you all of the sunshine That has brightened our pathway a while Then come sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River valley And the cowboy that's loved you so true For a long time, my darlin', I've waited For the sweet words you never would say Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished For they say that you're going away Then come sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu Just remember the Red River valley And the cowboy that's loved you so true

Some of us turn off the lights and we live In the moonlight, shooting by Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark To be where the angels fly Pretty maids, all in a row lined up Outside my cabin door The only one I've ever wanted wanting me Was the girl on the Red River shore Sat by her side, for a while I tried To make that girl my wife She gave me her best advice, she said "Go home and lead a quiet life" Well, I've been to the east and I've been to the west And I've been where the black winds roar Somehow I never got that far With the girl on the Red River shore I knew when I first laid eyes on her That I could never be free I was falling in every direction that was I could hear her voice talking to me Well, the dream dried up a long time ago Don't know where it is anymore True to life, true to me Was the girl on the Red River shore Well, I'm wearing the cloak of gambling I've tasted jilted love The frozen smile upon my face Hits me like a glove I can't escape from the memory Of the one that I'll always adore Even then, when I was there in the arms Of the girl on the Red River shore I'm a stranger here in a strange land But I know this is where I belong I'll ramble and gamble for the one I love And the hills will give me a song Nothing looks familiar to me So I know that I've stayed here before Sometime, a thousand years ago With the girl on the Red River shore Well, I went back to see about her once Went back to straighten it out Everybody that I knew saw us there Said they didn't know who I was talking about Sun went down on me a long time ago I had to fall back from the door I wish I could've spent every hour of my life With the girl on the Red River shore Well, I've heard of a guy who lived a long time ago A man full of sorrow and strife That is somebody around him was dead and died He knew how to bring 'em on back to life I don't know what kind of language he used Or if they do that kind of thing anymore Sometimes I think that nobody ever saw me here at all Except the girl on the Red River shore
