Yeah We're going down to the Rio Grande on another Friday night.
A beer keg down by the levy, so grab a cup and get in line.
With my courage up, I got shot down but her friend was mighty fine.
She laid me down in her pickup truck, and that was my first time.
Take me down to the river
Take me where my memories hide
I'm going down to the river
I'll never let my memories die
In the city of the crosses around 1985, we had softball games and barbecues, it was good to be alive.
There was no TikTok, no Instagram, just alot of french kissing & holding hands, and all the boys were way too cool to dance.
Oh take me down to the river
Take me where my memories hide
I'm going down to the river
I'll never let me memories die
Now the river shows a dark side every time she claims a life
The devil and deep water will get you every time
See the devil in deep water.. it'll get you every time
Oh no no no
Take me down to the river
Take me where my memories hide
I'm going down to the river
I'll never let my memories die
