The last set of tail lights drove away into the night
Far away a coyote cries
.34 Revolver reflecting the moonlight
Pointed right between his eyes
And in the paper Monday morning it read
That was the night the white river turned red
That was the night that the white river turned red
Twelve shades of black and blue cover memories of my youth
She tried to shield me from the pain
But on her cheek and in her vacant eyes I saw the proof
You were the king and all your terrain
Twenty-seven years has been more than enough
And it's time to pay for what you've done
Lookin' at you now you don't seem to be so tough
Staring down the barrel of a gun
And in the paper Monday morning it read
That was the night the white river turned red
That was the night that the white river turned red
Now I think I'll take my honey till the day that I am dead
But I pray this shot will quiet all her cries in my head
And here I am standing here with smoke trailing off
Watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red
You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well
You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
