A long time ago
In a place far away
That seems like light years
From where I am today
I learned everything
That I need to know
On the banks of Red River
Where I once called home
When pastures were plenty
And cattle was king
And cowboys looked forward
To each fall and spring
We'd saddle our ponies
When first light had shown
On the banks of Red River
That I once called home
CHORUS:
So long I have wandered
Like the wind 'cross the range
But in sweet dreams and memories
That place still remains
Where bob white quail whistle
And paint brushes grow
On the banks of Red River
Where I once called home
This big city hustle
And life I live now
Some days find me wishing
I could go back somehow
Those times were as happy
As I've ever known
On the banks of Red River
That I once called home
CHORUS
