Red River

Story Behind The Song

The age old dilemma - singer 1 thinks near is good enough, but singer 2 seems desperate to get himself a wife. Apparently, there are a lot of candidates down at Red River, and by song's end it sounds like singer 2 is pretty desperate - but St. Louis?

Lyrics

Near is good, near is good enough for me, Enough for me its good enough
Its good enough, Its got to be good enough for me

I'm goin down to Red River. Just to get myself a wife
Down at Red River, To get myself a wife
But if they've got no women down there, I guess I'll have to run and hide.

Near is good, near is good enough for me, Enough for me its good enough
Its good enough, Its got to be good enough for me

I'm goin down to St. Louis. Just to get myself a bride
Down at St. Louis, To get myself a bride
But if they've got no women down there, I guess I'll have to take my life.
