Red River Girl (feat. Eric Trent)

Crows calling in the distance Feathered allies of gloom Looking forward to a feast On a bleached-bone afternoon Let's call it a day the sheriff states Resigned and shaken to the core No one knows the name of the girl The Red River washed ashore Her padre was a narco A gambler and a crook He tried to stiff the wrong guys And soon was gone for good Her madre tried to save her From ending up as a drug-lord's whore And no one knows the name of the girl Red River washed ashore Her mama gave her all her savings Said girl you need to go north Go to the land of plenty And do a rich man's chores She felt drawn to Paris Texas Said she'd heard of Paris before No one knows the name of the girl Red River washed ashore The man in the truck loved hunting Made a living in real estate He really thought it's a deer When he sealed the skinny girl's fate He didn't want any trouble Sank her body didn't care anymore No-one knows the name of the girl Red River washed ashore (Instrumental) The night falls on Grayson County And the skies turn to indigo The crows have fallen asleep In a moonlight's mysterious glow A deer is grazing in the field Where the gunner made his score The wind whispers the name of the girl The Red River washed ashore
