River Girl - Zane Williams

Wide open western sky

Rust-red sunset startin' to fade on an August night

The heat’s still risin' off the asphalt when we

Turn down a county road

Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts

To a one lane bride where the path begins

When we feel the coolness in the air

Then we know we’re almost there and

You put your hand in mine

Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we

Walk down where the river gets wide

And no one ever comes around

Hidin' out 'neath the Concho moon

No agenda and nothin' to prove in our

Own little world

Just me and my river girl

The hours go slippin' by like

Dark water over flat rocks in the moonlight

You kick your flip flops off, trail your toes in the water and you

Tell me all of your dreams

Small town girl takin' on the world in cut-off jeans

And when you lean back, lay your head in my lap I can

See the starlight in your eyes

And for me there’s no dream like when

You put your hand in mine

Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we

Walk down where the river gets wide

And no one ever comes around

Hidin' out 'neath the Concho moon

No agenda and nothin' to prove in our

Own little world

Just me and my river girl

One day I know you’ll fly

From this sleepy town

But for this moment here and now

You put your hand in mine

Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we

Walk along where the river gets wide

Two people in love

There’s no feelin' in the world like this

Holdin' you in a tiptoe kiss in our

Own little world

Just me and my river girl

Just me and my river girl
