Rio
I bought him down in Houston from a cowboy friend of mine
He said he'd named him Rio, got him on the borderline
"He's red just like the river, and he runs as free and wild
A good horse don't get no better, he can weather every mile."
He said, "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?
You'll come to know that red turns to gold in a setting sun."
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
When we came up on the river, I could tell the horse had changed
There was something 'bout that water
Like it was running through his veins
I'll never understand it, how he knew just what to do
In the shadows of the darkness, hell, you couldn't see the moon
And I don't believe that Rio could see each step he'd take
But sure as the rain, he finds his way to the riverbank
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
Oh, he said
"Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?"
And I came to find my own peace of mind with the rising sun
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
Every trail, every turn, every lesson I learned
I followed my heart and his soul
So I go
I just go wherever Rio goes
He said he'd named him Rio, got him on the borderline
"He's red just like the river, and he runs as free and wild
A good horse don't get no better, he can weather every mile."
He said, "Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?
You'll come to know that red turns to gold in a setting sun."
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
When we came up on the river, I could tell the horse had changed
There was something 'bout that water
Like it was running through his veins
I'll never understand it, how he knew just what to do
In the shadows of the darkness, hell, you couldn't see the moon
And I don't believe that Rio could see each step he'd take
But sure as the rain, he finds his way to the riverbank
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
Oh, he said
"Why don't you take him out past the lake and let him run?"
And I came to find my own peace of mind with the rising sun
Every valley and mountain, I ride up and down them
I go wherever Rio goes
From the top to the bottom I don't try to stop him
I just go wherever Rio goes
Every trail, every turn, every lesson I learned
I followed my heart and his soul
So I go
I just go wherever Rio goes
