White River

[Intro]
[A set?] of tail lights drove away into the night
Far away a coyote cries
.34 revolver reflected the moonlight
Pointed right between his eyes

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Twelve shades of black and blue 'called 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

[Verse 3]
Twenty-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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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 trailing off
Watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red
Oh, watching that river turn red

[Intro]
You can beg forgiveness but I know you all too well
You acted like the devil so I'll send you straight to hell
