[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D
Born the orphan daughter of a well-known city man
E
She had the smile of a woman the kind you all know
A E
From the scarlet side of town
A D
At 15 she ran, she stole out of Amarillo
E
Just a clawin' for higher ground
For a man that don’t come around
[Chorus]
D E A
Oh but sometimes life ain’t kind
D E A
And the Red River valleys run dry
D E F#m
You can’t swim a dry river just like you can’t stop the tide
D E A E A
Oh the Red River valleys run dry
[Verse 2]
A
In South Oklahoma she lay with a rigger
D D
When Summer was turning to Fall
E
I was born in the Spring on a vinyl backseat
A E
Near the banks of the old Ouachita
[Verse 3]
A
Momma said he was happy
Daddy left when she had me
D
He ran without talking at all
E
While most would lie weepin’
She was ironin’ and sweepin’
And softly singing her song
[Chorus]
D E A
Sometimes life just ain’t kind
D E A
And the Red River valleys run dry
D E F#m
You can’t swim a dry river like you can’t stop the tide
D E A
No the Red River valleys run dry
[Instrumental]
E D E A D E A E D E F#m D E A E A
[Verse 4]
A E
See I’m a product of leavin’
A E A D D A
The thought’s been conceived that for me to run would only be fair
E
Well don’t it seem natural for me to take my guitar
A A E
Tie honeysuckle all in my hair
[Verse 5]
A
Don’t take time to judge me
It barely affects me
D
And most nights I’m too stoned to care
E
Oh and Momma died happy bussin’ tables at Snappy's
But I can hear as if she were here
[Chorus]
D E A
Oh sometimes life ain’t kind
D E A
And the Red River valleys run dry
D E F#m
You can’t swim a dry river just like you can’t stop the tide
D E A
Oh the Red River valleys run dry
[Reprise]
D E F#m
Can’t swim a dry river just like you can’t stop the tide
D E A
No the Red River valleys run dry
[Outro]
E A E
