Lyrics
Frio River
Words and Music: Mark David Manders, Heather Woodruff
Trailer trash and river rats all camped out in the shade
Along the banks of the Frio River
There’s families who barbecue while their children wade
Along the banks of the Frio River
Along the banks of the Frio River
I hear it’s raining out on the East Coast
But here in Texas we got sunshine
We’re gonna go down and float that river
And we’re gonna take our sweet time
Watch the beer all disappear as the day goes on
Along the banks of the Frio River
Boones Farm wine works just fine once the day is gone
Along the banks of the Frio River
Along the banks of the Frio River
I hear it’s raining out on the East Coast
But here in Texas we got sunshine
We’re gonna go down and float that river
And we’re gonna take our sweet time
You can’t get very far with an old guitar that never stays in tune
Along the banks of the Frio River
But there’s no other place that I’d rather waste a Sunday afternoon
Than along the banks of the Frio River
Along the banks of the Frio River
I hear it’s raining out on the East Coast
But here in Texas we got sunshine
We’re gonna go down and float that river
And we’re gonna take our sweet time
