Let's go hopping trains, let's go dancing in the rain
Passing messages that we cannot explain
Don't you tell nobody how I feel about you
And don't you dare tell me when your heart decides it's through
I don't think I could take the strain
Knowing that I'll never hear you say my name that way again
Just disappear, leave without a trace
Then you won't see the tears that go rolling down my face
Red river, red river, send liquor down my liver
I'm not one for sharing but I've always been a giver
When you talk that way, it gives me the shivers
I guess I'll wait here till the end of the winter
Seasons may pass and nothing ever lasts
Let's forget where we've been and just step on the gas
I'd follow you through a field of landmines
I'll believe all my own lies if it buys me just a little more time
Red river, red river, send liquor down my liver
I'm not one for sharing but I've always been a giver
When you talk that way, it gives me the shivers
I guess I'll wait here till the end of the winter
It won't be long till you forget every word to every song
The river keeps on roaring no matter who gets drowned
Where will I be when you forget all about me?
Don't worry for me baby, the memories are all I need
Red river, red river, send liquor down my liver
I'm not one for sharing but I've always been a giver
When you talk that way, it gives me the shivers
I guess I'll wait here till the end of the winter
Let's go hopping trains, let's go dancing in the rain
Feeling things that we cannot explain
Let's go hopping trains, let's go dancing in the rain
Pretending love never caused nobody any pain
