The Rio Grande is runnin’ deep
How I love to let it sweep me downFlowin’ with the oak leaves pushin’ south
I got some friends in San Antone
They always open up their home to me
Send me up the road with a good night’s sleep
Lace your boots up tight
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older
Rain or shine
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line
Well the southern sun is mean
But there’s hollers in between the hills
When the wind flies through the trees
It cools yer heels
Lace your boots up tight
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older
Rain or shine
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line
I can feel it in my hands and feet
And it lives in every note and every beat
Lace your boots up tight
Tomorrow we’ll be one day older
Rain or shine
Tonight I want to run for the Texas line

I believe the song would have been improved a bit if he'd have mentioned how the cops were on his tail for shootin' his woman down back in Tennesee, and maybe something about robbing a liquor store and stealing a car that morning.
Don't ya think?
I'll pass that great idea on to the band. Thanks!
