  • 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 this crimson bank

    Red River blue
    God pull me through
    I'd walk through fire
    If that bridge hadn't burned in two
    Texas summer sky
    Tears in my eyes
    She said goodbye and now I'm Red River blue

    They say everything is bigger
    Under that Texas moon
    I'll bet my right hand you won't find a bigger fool
    She's probably smiling somewhere tonight
    In someone else's arms
    I'm here dragging the muddy bottom
    For pieces of my heart

    Red River blue
    God pull me through
    I'd walk through fire
    If that bridge hadn't burned in two
    Texas summer sky
    Tears in my eyes
    She said goodbye and now I'm Red River blue
    She said goodbye and now I'm Red River blue Writer/s: Edward L Owens, Thomas Ray Stephenson
