lyrics

THE DEVIL'S RIVER

Rollin’ through Junction just tryin’ to function
Lookin’ for somethin’ to hold him down
Daddies tell your daughters if they ain’t they oughter
Steer clear when he rolls through town

‘Cause that Devil's River runs through the back door of Sonora
But he don’t come around here anymore
There’s chile verde tacos and drunken desperados
Too stoned to find their way home

Out west of Bandera he’s had his share of
Rodeos out to ole Rocksprings
But losin’ ain’t winnin’ in the high canyon livin’
Gonna see what tomorrow brings

‘Cause that Devil's River runs through the back door of Sonora
But he don’t come around here anymore
There’s chile verde tacos and drunken desperados
Too stoned to find their way home

Del Rio Texas is far west as you’ll ever see him go
‘Cause Gary Rivers Country
Ain’t in it for the money
Or the gold down in ole Mexico

‘Cause that Devil's River runs through the back door of Sonora
But he don’t come around here anymore
There’s chile verde tacos and drunken desperados
Too stoned to find their way home
