Jim Proctor Sings (you A Song)

Well the Rio Grande river, it's born in Colorado, A thousand miles it wanders down, Until it reaches the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, A long, long way; a long, long way. And here in Albuquerque, in the state of New Mexico, The Rio Grande runs past my home, I'm running like that river, but where I'm headed I don't know, It's far away; so far away. Well my own headwaters are in Canyonville, Oregon, For twenty years it was my home, There I wandered the forests and I looked out from the mountains, A long, long way; a long, long way. Then I flew across the ocean into southern Africa, Where Mkhondvo runs through the Swazi soil, There I started a family and thought of mine in America, So far away; so far away. Now my wife and Joy and I we live here in New Mexico, With the desert suns and the Indian moons, But like the Rio Grande I fear we're all just passing through, To who knows where; to who knows where.
