I walked out last night along Red River
I walked and I wandered for woe to turn to light
This town she's lonesome and her people are mean and cruel
Her windows reflect their grins on seeing me walk away from you
Walk away from, walk away from you...
So my steps were slow and my swagger deliberate
And if ever my heart grieved now my body must not confess it
No she will not fail me for she expresses the very line -
I'm steady on eyes dead set on - my hips move left to right
Nelson, I love you. I do, I do.
Oh, Nelson, remember: To myself I will be true...
And so I walked on...
Past alleyways where druggers sweat and where w****s oily palms grip
Where runaways lay swollen and the governor come to spit
They see me come a walking with my figure
so strong and light
I'm walking through everyone out on Red River tonight
Last night it was so cold in that low lit
Red River bar
Where by the jukebox I heard my name and laughter's heavy fall
Some never look you in the eye
Some only duck and dive
Some come to him with scarlet lips praying out loud that I should die
Oh my Nelson, I love you and I will love you till the end
But Nelson, we differ by what we call a friend
It looks like rane, ah-yen
Blew burn fi-do-nie, ah-yen
Colored lights that bleed, ah-yen
Colored lights that bleed, ah-yen
I walked out last night along Red River
I walked and I wanted for woe to turn to light
I walked and I wandered for woe to turn to light
This town she's lonesome and her people are mean and cruel
Her windows reflect their grins on seeing me walk away from you
Walk away from, walk away from you...
So my steps were slow and my swagger deliberate
And if ever my heart grieved now my body must not confess it
No she will not fail me for she expresses the very line -
I'm steady on eyes dead set on - my hips move left to right
