Red River – Wilderado

Oh, you know we did our best
Through the alcohol and cigarettes
I love you just the same
In the hands of summer time
Sweet, tall pine and firelight
It took us there, it’ll take you back one day

Heard the wind go on and call your name
Watched you leave together hand-in-hand
Oh, Red River, won’t you call us all back in?

Sun goes down, New Mexico
Bull o’ the woods, you were white the show
They kicked us out again and again
Up in them mountains, I fell in love
Pops looked down and he laughed with us
His heart lived there and there it shall remain

Heard the wind go on and call your name
Watched you leave together hand-in-hand
Oh, Red River, won’t you call us all back in?

Us all back in
Where we found love
And heaven up above

I can still see your hands held wide
Hair pulled back with the fire in your eyes
