Río Grande

Curious how the old man goes
Sowing seeds knowing he won't reap
There's so much I need to let go
The greatest joy is in giving, you see

His face starts to wither
His dreams now live in someone else
The flame must not go out
Don't forget, no

Hug your dad, kiss your wife
If this land was ours, it’ll belong to your kids
In a world so vast, where can you run?
There’s only one place you need to be, and it’s here

Love, stop crying now
And put on that dress you wear when you dance
We gotta celebrate the night
Even if one’s missing at dinner time
I’m ready to leave
Wake them up, let them come say goodbye
Your blessing will reach me
Until I return

Hug your dad, kiss your wife
If this land was ours, it’ll belong to your kids
In a world so vast, where can you run?
There’s only one place you need to be, and it’s here

Hug your dad, kiss your wife
If this land was ours, it’ll belong to my daughters
In a world so vast, where can you run?
There’s only one place you need to be
Let my brother in and let him sit down to eat
Where five can eat, six can easily fit
If one day this border were to lose us
There’s only one place you’ll find me, and it’s here

Oh! And it’s here
Eh! And it’s here
Oh oh oh oh
