River Girl
She's a river girl
Baptized in that muddy water
Proud to be her daddy's daughter
She still gets a little wild
She grew up on Johnny Cash
And all that outlaw music
He would play it in his pick-up
And she'd sit right there on his lap
Those days now seem so long ago
Just her and him in that pick-up truck
Tearing down an old dirt road
She'd give anything just to go back one more time
When life was just a little girl cane pole and fishing line
It's been three years now
And now her daddy chills with Jesus
But she knows he's up there
Watching, making sure that she's okay
Now that she's on her own
She thinks about thе old days
Down there on that riverbank
That muddy watеr's fed her soul
Those days now seem so long ago
Just her and him in that pick-up truck
Tearing down an old dirt road
She'd give anything just to go back one more time
When life was just a little girl cane pole and fishing line
She'd give anything
To hug his neck just one more time
When life was just a little girl
Cane pole and fishing line
Those days now seem so long ago
Just her and him in that pick-up truck
Tearing down an old dirt road
She'd give anything just to go back one more time
When life was just a little girl cane pole and fishing line
She's a river girl
Baptized in that muddy water
Proud to be her daddy's daughter
She still gets a little wild
