Lyrics
North Of The Rio Grande
c2019 Greg Lambert
There's a frightened child in a woman's arms
Trapped in a caravan
The fare is steep, and the river is deep
On the way to the promised land
Chorus
The sun goes down on another day
In a fractured, weary land
Politicians scream, coyotes howl
North of the Rio Grand
There's a frightened child in a stranger's care
While her mother stays behind
The smuggler's bill is paid in full
In a land that's slowly dying
Chorus
Instrumental
