Wide-open western sky
Rust-red sunset startin' to fade on an August night
The heat's still risin' off the asphalt when we
Turn down a county road
Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts
To a one lane bridge where the path begins
When we feel the coolness in the air
Then we know we're almost there and
You put your hand in mine
Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we
Walk down where the river gets wide
And no one ever comes around
Hidin' out ?neath the Concho moon
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
Own little world
Just me and my river girl
The hours go slippin' by like
Dark water over flat rocks in the moonlight
You kick your flip-flops off, trail your toes in the water and you
Tell me all of your dreams
Small town girl takin' on the world in cut-off jeans
And when you lean back, lay your head on my lap I can
See the starlight in your eyes
And for me there's no dream like when
You put your hand in mine
Pretty fingers that fit just fine and we
Walk down where the river gets wide
And no one ever comes around
Hidin' out ?neath the Concho moon
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
Own little world
Just me and my river girl
One day I know you'll fly from this sleepy town
But for this moment here and now
(single strums)
You put your hand in mine
Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we
Walk along where the river gets wide
Two people in love
There's no feeling' in the world like this
Frozen in a tiptoe kiss in our
Own little world
Just me and my river girl
Just me and my river girl
