Kelly Reckless - She Sang The Red River Valley lyrics

rate me

At General Delivery she picks up her mail Her momma says Johnny just got out of jail She hopes he don't know where she's at How could she have ever loved that kind of cat She remembers the dance in the moonlight From the Hall to the back of his car He taught her how to drink whiskey Three chords on a pawn shop guitar She remembers the first time he kissed her Back when the feeling was new And she sang the Red River Valley For the cowboy who loved her so true She's working each night at what she knows best Hanging in bars with professional guests She picks up a young buckaroo Because he reminds of her of someone she knew The telephone rings off the hook by her bed The other ends Johnny with a gun to his head He said "You always looked good in black" The next thing she heard was a bone chilling crack She pulls into town just at sunrise Her momma has strong coffee on She said "You know he's always been crazy It's best for us all that he's gone." So at the request of the family A service was held for a few And she sang the Red River Valley For the cowboy who loved her so true She remembered the dance in the moonlight >From the Hall to the back of his car He taught her how to drink whiskey Three chords on a pawn shop guitar She remembered the first time he kissed her Back when the feeling was new And she sang the Red River Valley From the cowboy who loved her so true
