Return To The Red River Valley

Why all this commotion?
Can't you see that the world's still in motion?
Don't you know that God's love's like an ocean
For every one of His little children?

From this valley I see you are leaving
I will miss your brown eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine of
The cowboy who loved you a while

The cowboy that loved you completely
The cowboy that tried to be true
The cowboy that can't understand where you're going
Until I leave this valley too

Why all this contention?
What all this fighting in the name of religion?
It wasn't God, it was man's sad invention
Who've forgotten what it's like to be children

I can't go around with a gun on my tongue
Not expecting the rounds to deflect
The blood on all our hands is the same
In the Red River Valley it reflects
