Rio

[00:13.59] I bought him down in Houston from a cowboy friend of mine
[00:19.36] He said he'd named him Rio, got him on the borderline
[00:24.80] "He's red just like the river, and he runs as free and wild
[00:30.15] A good horse don't get no better, he can weather every mile."
[00:35.99] He said, "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?
[00:41.37] You'll come to know that red turns to gold in a setting sun."
[00:46.58] Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
[00:52.08] I go wherever Rio goes
[00:57.70] From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
[01:03.14] I just go wherever Rio goes
[01:11.78] When we came up on the river, I could tell the horse had changed
[01:17.17] There was something 'bout that water
[01:19.76] Like it was running through his veins
[01:22.81] I'll never understand it, how he knew just what to do
[01:28.05] In the shadows of the darkness, hell, you couldn't see the moon
[01:34.02] And I don't believe that Rio could see each step he'd take
[01:39.48] But sure as the rain, he finds his way to the riverbank
[01:44.42] Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
[01:50.15] I go wherever Rio goes
[01:55.69] From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
[02:01.13] I just go wherever Rio goes
[02:14.39] Oh, he said
[02:15.66] "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?"
[02:20.57] And I came to find my own peace of mind with the rising sun
[02:28.62] Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
[02:34.38] I go wherever Rio goes
[02:40.07] From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
[02:45.29] I just go wherever Rio goes
[02:51.12] Every trail, every turn, every lesson I learned
[02:56.31] I followed my heart and his soul
[03:01.33] So I go
[03:04.60] I just go wherever Rio goes
[03:10.27]
