Wide-open western sky

Rust-red sunset startin' to fade on an August night
The heat's still risin' off the asphalt when we

Turn down a county road
Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 G
Rattle over a cattle guard past a row of old fence posts
To a one lane bridge where the path begins
A G
When we feel the coolness in the air
A G (hold)
Then we know we're almost there and
D G
You put your hand in mine
Bm C G
Tiny fingers that fit just fine and we
D G
Walk down where the river gets wide
Bm A G
And no one ever comes around
D G
Hidin' out ‘neath the Concho moon
Bm C G
No agenda and nothin' to prove in our
D G A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
D
The hours go slippin' by like

Dark water over flat rocks in the moonlight
You kick your flip-flops off, trail your toes in the water and you

Small town girl takin' on the world in cut-off jeans
And when you lean back, lay your head on my lap I can

And for me there's no dream like when

You put your hand in mine

Pretty fingers that fit just fine and we

And no one ever comes around

One day I know you'll fly from this sleepy town
Bm G (hold)
But for this moment here and now
(single strums)
D G
You put your hand in mine
Bm C G
Tiny fingers that feel so fine and we
D G
Walk along where the river gets wide
Bm A G (start strumming again & crescendo here)
Two people in love
D G
There's no feeling' in the world like this
Bm C G
Frozen in a tiptoe kiss in our
D G A
Own little world
G
Just me and my river girl
Just me and my river girl
