[Verse 1]
SCome of us turn off the lights and we live
And the moonlight shooting bFy
Some of us scare ourselves to deaCth in the dark
To be where the angels Gfly
CPretty maids all in a row lined up
Outside my cabinF door
I've never wanted any of them Cwanting me
Except the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 2]
WCell, I sat by her side and for a while I tried
To make that girl my wFife
She gave me her best advice and shCe said
Go home and lead a quiet Glife
Well, I Cbeen to the east and I been to the west
And I been out where the blackF winds roar
Somehow though I never did Cget that far
With the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 3]
WCell, I knew when I first laid eyes on her
I could never be fFree
One look at her and I kneCw right away
She should always be wGith me
WellC, the dream dried up a long time ago
Don't know where it is Fanymore
True to life, trueC to me
Was the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 4]
WeCll, I'm wearing the cloak of misery
And I've tasted jilted Flove
And the frozen smile upon mCy face
Fits me like a gloGve
Well, I Ccan't escape from those memories
Of the one that I'll alFways adore
All those nights, when I lay inC the arms
Of the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 5]
WelCl, we're living in the shadows of a fading past
Trapped in the fires ofF time
I'd tried not to ever hurCt anybody
And to stay out of a life ofG crime
And Cwhen it's all been said and done
I never did know the Fscore
One more day is another dCay away
From the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 6]
WeCll, I'm a stranger here in a strange land
But I know this is where IF belong
I'll ramble and gamble for tChe one I love
And the hills will give me Ga song
Though Cnothing looks familiar to me
I know I've stayed hFere before
Once, a thousand niCghts ago
With the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 7]
WCell, I went back to see about her once
Went back to straighten itF out
Everybody that I talked to hCad seen us there
Said they didn't know who I was talGking about
Well, the Csun went down on me a long time ago
I had to go back from tFhe door
I wish I could have spent everyC hour of my life
With the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
[Verse 8]
NowC I heard of a guy who lived a long time ago
A man full of sorrow and striFfe
That if someone around him dieCd and was dead
He knew how to bring 'em on backG to life
Well, I doCn't know what kind of language he used
Or if they do that kind of thingF anymore
Sometimes I think nobody saw meC here at all
Except the Cgirl from the Red GRiver CShore
