We made love in the Blackfoot water
A rancher's son and the rivers daughter
Big sky moon on a July night
And that's where she left me one last time
I like to think she ain't to blame
That gypsy blood runs through her veins
She wasn't made to stay
Even to this day
She runs through the middle of my mind, won't let go
Her memory deep as it is wide
Everything including me in this town won't ever leave
We just settle like the dust when the day is done
Her and the river run
I don't go fishin' or swimmin' these days
My heart goes dark on the Blackfoot banks
Like her, that current rages on
Wherever she is, she won't be long
She's there and gone
She runs through the middle of my mind, won't let go
Her memory deep as it is wide
Everything including me in this town won't ever leave
We just settle like the dust when the day is done
Her and the river run
(Her and the river run, run, run, run, run)
She runs through the middle of my mind, won't let go
Her memory deep as it is wide
Everything including me in this town won't ever leave
We just settle like the dust when the day is done
Her and the river run
Her and the river run
Her and the river run
