Verse 1
Jesus Never Left, He Lives In Texas
Spends His Days Riding Fence On Open Land
He Moved Out Here The Spring Of 1880
Somewhere Between The Red And Rio Grande.
Verse 2
That Summer He Had Lunch With Quanah Parker
That Very Afternoon The Comanches Laid It Down
A Thousand Years They Ruled The Southern Prairie
Every Dusty Rocky Mile Between The Red And Rio Grande.
Chorus
Now The Palo Duro Canyon Stands Alone
Red Rock Spires Strewn With Bleached White Bones
The Settlers Spread From East To West
Planting Gardens In The Burning Sand
Somewhere Between The Red And Rio Grande
Verse 3
Doesn't Matter Where You're Born Its Where You Learn Your Lessons
Crockett Was Here Three Months But He Earned His Star
We'll Judge You By Your Cows And Not Your Stetson
If Your Soul Yearns To Be Free Come Down To The Old Lone Star
Instrumental
Verse 4
I Took Off To Find My Fortune, I Was Twenty
But I Must Have Left My Heart On That Old Nightstand
When The Curtain Falls Spread Me Out In The Land Of Plenty
Somewhere Between The Red And Rio Grande.
Chorus
From San Jacinto To The Amarillo Stars
The Beaches Of The Gulf To The Austin Music Bars
Whspering Ghosts Of Mexico Drift Across The Golden Sand
Somewhere Between The Red And Rio Grande.
Outro
Jesus Never Left He Lives In Texas
Spends His Days Riding Fence On The Open Land.
