Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Years ago, I had the experience of sitting around in a living room
With a bunch of people and singing and playing
And it was like a spiritual experience
It was wonderful
And uh, I decided then that's what I want to do with my life
Was play music and do music
And uh, in the making of records I think over the years
We've all gotten a little too technical
A little too hung up on getting things perfect
And we've lost the living room
The living room has gone out of the music
But today I feel like we got it back
[Verse 2]
Well she saved him from whiskey
Was his constant companion
You'd see them out riding at dawn
[Verse 3]
She gave him his reasons
To shoulder the seasons
But now when you see him
He's riding alone
[Verse 4]
She'd lay down beside him
To touch him and guide him
Turn 'round his head
On the darkest of days
[Verse 5]
He still sits beside her
Remembers her smilin'
And whisper to him that old song he would play
[Verse 6]
Please lay down beside me
I love you
Never wanted to bid this adieu
No red river ever ran deeper
Than an old cowboy's love
Than an old cowboy's love that runs true
