Red River Blue

                                  On the Oklahoma shore of that old Red River

I stand right here and curse my pride.

That river runs deep

The 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

Texas summer 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

Texas summer 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
