	C	Am
	I guess she put her blue dress on, and	walked out late last night

	C	Am
	Left one silk stocking, dangling	from the bedside light

	Dm	F
	I sobered up and called her name,	just before the dawn

	Dm	F
	I saw her footprints in the sand, and	knew that she had gone

	C	Dm	F
Down the Rio	Grande

I pulled out of Albuquerque, prayin' I wasn't late

I got a couple cups of coffee, at some joint off the interstate

Passin' through Las Cruces, I swear I saw her car

She always said she'd go someday, but never said how far

Down the Rio Grande

Chorus

	Dm	G	C	Am
	Maybe she's in	Brownsville, she's	got some family	there

	Dm	G	C	Am
	She was always	talkin' bout, the	salty Gulf Coast	air

	Dm	F	C	Dm	F
Where the river ends,		down the Rio	Grande

I saw an old grey heron, flyin' south against the wind

Storm clouds over Juarez, rollin' east to the Big Bend

I drove down Highway Ninety, through a dusty desert wind

I didn't know where it would lead me, or if I'd find her again

Down the Rio Grande

I lit my last cigarette, as the sky began to clear

Black mountains up ahead, a red sundown in my mirror

Lost all the border, tween the future and the past

One fading slowly, and the other comin' fast

Down the Rio Grande

Repeat Chorus

I bought a bottle in Del Rio, and I parked on the side of the road

I stayed up all night, starin' at the lights of Mexico

And I walked down to border bridge, at the break of day

And I threw that empty bottle off, and I watched it float away

Down the Rio Grande

Repeat ChorusWhere the river ends
