Baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night
Left one silk stalking dangling from the bedside light
I sobered up and called her name just before the dawn
i followed foot prints through the sand
i knew where she had gone
down the rio grande down the rio grande
I pulled out of Albuquerque Must of been past eight
four cups of coffee and i hit the interstate
rolling through Las Cruces I thought i saw her car
she always said shed go someday she never said how far
down the rio grande down the rio grande
(chorus)
Maybe she's Brownsville she's got some family there
Shew always talked about the salty gulf coast air
where the river ends Down the rio grande
i saw an old grey heron flying south against the wind
storm clouds over Jaurez rolling down the big bend
i called her name in esparonzos dusty desert rain
but who knows what the hell id say if i found her again
on the rio grande down the rio grande
i turned south on highway 90 sky begin to clear
black mountains out ahead red sundown rearview mirror
haunted by her dark wet skin moving next to mine
i swore that things would change
if could hold her one more time
on the rio grande down the rio grande
(chorus)
i bought a bottle in del rio and pulled out of the road
spent the whole night starring at the lights of mexico
i walked down to the border bridge about the break of day
through that empty bottle off and watched float away
down the rio grande down the rio grande
so know im heading down to brownsville
and the gulf of mexico
just like that empty bottle
i may sink or else ill float to the rivers end
down the rio grande
baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night
down the rio grande
