Reba Mcentire - Just Across The Rio Grande Lyrics
(don cook, chick rains)The lights of laredo dance on the waterAnd shine in a young mans eyes.Who stand on the border and dreams of paradise.Hes heard crazy stories of how people live over in the promised land.He heard they eat three meals a day, just across the rio grande.Hes got a wife named maria, and a babyNamed rose, and another one to feed on the way.Two willing hands, that couldnt find work today.He stares at the river and curses the future,That he cant understand.He knows the child would have a chance, justAcross the rio grande.Its only a river,Thats not so deep or wide.A boy can throw a stone across andReach the other side. its just someMuddy water, cutting through the land.But a man can make a dream come trueJust across the rio grande.The lights of laredo dance on the water andShine in a young mans eyes. who stand on theBorder and dreams of paradise.Hes heard crazy stories of how good life isOver in the promised land, andSometimes it seems like God must live justAcross the rio grande.Repeat chorus
