Livin' Too Close To The Rio Grande

Well I've been living too close to the Rio Grande

Gotta move it on up to a higher land

Now the river has turned into a flood

And the sun's the color of real blood



Well I got those speakers in Okinawa

But they're too damn heavy for my little boat

So we're rowing to the corner and I don't look back

Driving to her mother's in a U-Haul van



Between the wife and the ex and the Government

Man I never met a dollar that wasn't spent

Now the sun is shinin' on to the East

And it's dark where the river and the highway meet



Man I've been living too close to the Rio Grande

I've been living too close to the Rio Grande

I've been living too close to the Rio Grande

I've been living too close to the Rio Grande
