[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
