Old Red River Road (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2007) (song#5199)

A new paved road comes down from Bobcat Pass
Brings tourists around into town enmass
But they all miss the Upper Valley view
Now the new paved road is an easy climb
But I'll take the old Red River Road every time

The old Red River Road just winds along
Easy as the lines of a slow love song
Wind in Ponderosa pines sound like chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time

Lately most drive so fast that they can't stop
They can't wait to pass on the new black top
To me, that daily grind will never rhyme
So I'll take the old Red River Road every time

- instrumental -

The old red River Road, may it not fade
On it the elk and deer have right of way
Aspencade is magic in Autumn time
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time

The old Red River Road just winds along
Easy as the lines of a slow love song
Wind in Ponderosa pines sound like chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old Red River Road every time
