Lyrics

I had an uncle who could find
An arrowhead every time
He went walkin' on the banks of the Red River
Just tryin' to ease his mind
He ain't my uncle anymore
And I ain't sure what for
Somethin' 'bout what you can't give her
If you're stompin' on the banks of the Red River
I need a land where I can lay
Lord, no one's ever gonna find
I need a land where I can drink the water
From a river that is mine
Now my aunt she lives alone
Lives with a man, but still alone
And he works by the Red River
Quarryin' the stone
6 AM he's on his way
They pay him cash for a twelve-hour day
Bustin' up a livin' on that red water
She's cleanin' red dirt off the life he's bought her
I need a land where I can lay
Lord, no one's ever gonna find
I need a land where I can drink the water
From a river that is mine
A thousand years ago
A warrior dropped his bow
On the banks of the Red River
And he hung his head down low
I need a land where I can lay
Lord, no one's ever gonna find
I need a land where I can drink the water
From a river that is mine
Oh from a river that ain't dry
I need a land where I can lay
