Rio GrandeRio Grande, Rio Grandeyou remind me how the gift of livingcan sometimes be cold and unforgivingall the love that we had plannedgone like ripples on the Rio GrandeRio Grande, Rio Grandeyou flow like dark hair did past her shouldersher brown skin shivered when it got coldermakin' love on sheets of sandin moonshadows on the Rio GrandeI first saw her makin' four bucks an hourserving watered down tequila and whiskey soursto rowdy old ranch handswe'd walk these banks and learn about each otherhow I'd love a son and how she missed her mothercos she came to this land'cross the Rio Grande, Rio Grande Oh time is a current ever flowingone life was coming as one was goingnow our son is in my handsas teardrops rain on the Rio Grande(c)2007 Robert George
