Intro:
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 the crimson bank
(Chorus)
Red River blue, God, pull me through
Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two
Texoma sky tears in my eyes
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue
Instrumental:
They say everything is bigger under that Texas moon
Ill bet my right hand you wont find a bigger fool
Shes probably smiling somewhere tonight in someone elses arms
Im here dragging the muddy bottom for pieces of my heart
(Chorus)
Red River blue, God, pull me through
Id walk through fire if that bridge hadnt burned in two
Texoma sky tears in my eyes
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue
She said good-bye and now Im Red River blue
