Country Boy (Across the Rio Grande)

I’m a poor country boy, only doing what I’m told Always abiding, by the law I did nothing wrong, but I’m on the run Cause the sheriff’s put a price on my head I spent my days working, on Sundays to the church Never bothering a soul Now I travel by night, hiding at day Cause the sheriff’s put a price on my head Watchout! Lookout! I got to cross the Rio Grande Watchout! Lookout! or go back to the county jail How quickly times are changing, how fast it disappears I thought it would last forever I ‘m now without a house, I’m now without a home The sheriff’s put a price on my head Watchout! Lookout! I got to cross the Rio Grande Watchout! Lookout! or go back to the county jail Watchout! Lookout! I got to cross the Rio Grande Watchout! Lookout! or go back to the county jail Once they put a price on my head, I knew I never would be able to live in this town peacefully Man, what could I do? I stabbed the man, he was hitting on my wife... Watchout! Lookout! I got to cross the Rio Grande Watchout! Lookout! or go back to the county jail Watchout! Lookout! I got to cross the Rio Grande Watchout! Lookout! or go back to the county jail
