That was the night
That the white river turned red
The last set of taillights drove away into the night
Far away coyote cries
Thirty-four revolver reflected 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 night
That the white river turned red
THE WHITE
THE WHITE RIVER
RIVER
THE WHITE
THE WHITE RIVER
(Turned red)
THE WHITE
THE WHITE RIVER
(Turned red)
Twelve shades of black and blue
Called the 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 oh, your terror reigned
Twenty-some odd years has been more than enough
It's time to pay for what you've done
WHAT YOU DONE
DONE
But looking at you now
You don't seem to be so tough
Staring down a 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
THE WHITE
THE WHITE RIVER
RIVER
THE WHITE
THE WHITE RIVER
(Turned red)
THE WHITE
THE WHITE
(River turned red)
The revenge I take my haunt me til the day that I am dead
But I pray this shot will quiet all her cries in my head
But either way I stand 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 white river turn red
THE WHITE
RIVER
RIVER
THE WHITE
The WHITE
(River turned 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
