Lyrics

Bilingual
Hitch your saddle up and ride
With a badge and a gun
Keep changing all the rules
That's how the West was won
By Indian takers
Not Indian givers
River runs forever
I had a little Spanish girl
She let me into her heart
Our love was like a tree
The limbs grew apart
And with a lightning crack
The branches severed
River runs forever
You're gonna have to face the judge
For being a dope
You think you hang the whole jury
'Cause you bought all the rope
You think you own the world
But you're not that clever
River runs forever
The winds will always blow
Change will always call
On the neck of a king
The axe will always fall
The biggest earthquake
Starts with a tremor
River runs forever
ย
And if I get just one thing right
Before my time to go
I'm gonna saddle up and ride
Back to New Mexico
I'm gonna find that Spanish girl
And never leave her side
'Cause we've all made mistakes
And I'm through making mine
We'll sit under that tree
We planted years ago
This time we'll take the time
And let it grow
'Cause we can't take it with us
We're not that clever
We could blow the whole thing up
With the flick of a lever
River runs forever
