White River
The last set of tail lights 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 the night that the White River turned red
Twelve shades of black and blue cloud 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
20 some odd years has been more than enough
It's time to pay for what you've done
Lookin' at you now, you don't seem to be so tough
Starin' 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
The revenge I take might 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 trailin' 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
You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well
You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
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 the night that the White River turned red
Twelve shades of black and blue cloud 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
20 some odd years has been more than enough
It's time to pay for what you've done
Lookin' at you now, you don't seem to be so tough
Starin' 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
The revenge I take might 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 trailin' 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
You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well
You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
