Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][A][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Wide open [D]western sky
Rust- red sunset startin' to
[G]fade on an August night
The heat's still risin' off
the asphalt when [D]we
Turn down a county road
Rattle over a cattle guard past
a row of [G]old fence posts
To a one lane bride where
the path [A]begins
When we feel [G]the coolness in the [A]air
Then we know we're [G]almost
[Bm]there [G]and[Bm][D]

[Verse 2]
You put your [G]hand in [Bm]mine
Tiny fingers that [C]fit just [G]fine and [D]we
Walk down where the [G]river gets wide
[Bm]And no one ever [A]comes arou[G]nd[D]
Hidin' out 'neath [G]the Concho moon
[Bm]No agenda and noth[C]in' to prove[G] in our[D]
[G]Own little [A]world
[G]Just me and my river [D]girl
[Bm][A][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
The hours go slippin' by like
Dark water over flat rock
[A]s in the moo[G]nlight
You kick your flip flops off,
trail your toes in the water [D]and you
Tell me all of your dreams
Small town girl takin' on
[G]the world in cut- off jeans
And when you lean back,
lay your head in my lap [A]I can
See the star[G]light in your eyes
[A]And for me there's no[G]
dream [C]like [Bm]when[G][D]

[Verse 4]
You put your [G]hand in [Bm]mine
Tiny fingers that [C]fit just [G]fine and [D]we
Walk down where the [G]river gets wide
[Bm]And no one ever [A]comes arou[G]nd[D]
Hidin' out 'neath [G]the Concho moon
[Bm]No agenda and noth[C]in' to prove[G] in our[D]
[G]Own little [A]world
[G]Just me and my river girl
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
One day I know you'll [G]fly
From this sleepy [D]town[Bm]
But for this moment [G]here
and now
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
You put your [G]hand in [Bm]mine
Tiny fingers that [C]feel so [G]fine and [D]we
Walk along where the [G]river
gets [A]wide[Bm]
Two [A]people in love

[Verse 7]
[G][D]
There's no feelin' in the
[G]world like [Bm]this
Holdin' you in a [C]tiptoe [G]kiss in [D]our
[G]Own little [A]world
[G]Just me and my river girl

[Verse 8]
[G]Just me and my river girl

[Outro 1]
[G]
