lyrics

her story starts in Texas
where the Brazos ends some old broken road
her mama's heart was salted earth
her daddy's just a picture in Momma's bottle drawer

he got crossed with the wrong men
took their money south of Mexico
ain't worth the bullet that'll find him
said mama when she took the bottle from the drawer

sometimes she sits in the evening by the river
water takes her dreams as far as they could
but they’d always end at the
bottom of the Brazos
buried underneath that Texas river mud

years go slow in a small town
tonight she works a double at the old truck and go
there he was at table 12
the man from the picture in mamas bottle drawer

I came here to see your face
I had to stay away too long
darlin' I'm going to make this right
but she turned him away and he walked out the door

but those men found him
on a bridge on the River, he said
I threw your money as far as i could
so they put them at the bottom of the Brazos
buried under that Texas river mud

oh that bastard left again
she cursed herself; she cursed the thought of him
oh she needed a place to cry
she needed her place on the riverside
oh how was she to know
until she saw the money
until she saw the note
(P.S. Darlin’ -- All my love)
so she left that river far away behind her
she drove and drove as far as she could
she left that town down by the Brazos
buried underneath that Texas river mud
