Rio Grande

{The Rio Grande} Verse 1: Down by the border where the eagle flies, There’s a river runnin’ wild under big Texas skies. The Rio Grande flows strong and free, A symbol of the West, a part of me. Chorus: Oh, the Rio Grande, where the water runs deep, Through the canyons and the valleys, it’s a cowboy’s keep. With the spirit of the wild and the heart of the land, I find my soul in the Rio Grande. Verse 2: From the mountains of Colorado to the Gulf’s blue shore, It winds and it weaves, a legend of lore. With the cattle and the coyotes, and the dust in the wind, The Rio Grande’s a friend, a story without end. Chorus: Oh, the Rio Grande, where the water runs deep, Through the canyons and the valleys, it’s a cowboy’s keep. With the spirit of the wild and the heart of the land, I find my soul in the Rio Grande. Bridge: In the moonlight’s glow, I can hear its song, A melody of ages, where I belong. Through the trials and the troubles, it stands so grand, The lifeblood of this rugged, untamed land. Verse 3: So I’ll ride along its banks, with my head held high, With the stars above and the night rollin’ by. In the heart of Texas, where the legends stand, I’ll find my peace by the Rio Grande. Chorus: Oh, the Rio Grande, where the water runs deep, Through the canyons and the valleys, it’s a cowboy’s keep. With the spirit of the wild and the heart of the land, I find my soul in the Rio Grande. Outro: Yes, the Rio Grande, it’s where I’m meant to be, With its waters flowing, wild and free. From the past to the future, it holds my hand, I’ll forever roam by the Rio Grande.
