Red River Lyrics - Rocky Votolato

This is what life feels like on the ground 

I had a brother who was stationed up in Northern Hill Country 

You know he never really came home 

We drove out east to Red River to see the high waters flow 

That river was running just searching for an ocean 

The freedom we'd never known 

That feeling you get when the wind is blowing 

Like you're whole life is starting over 

We made our peace there with the no man's land where we come from 

I've been searching for the waves to carry us home 

To the ocean we all came from, where we'll all be returned 

I've been searching for the waves to carry us home 

To the ocean we all came from, where we'll all be dissolved into one 

Like a crippled animal running on broken legs that night 

His voice was splintering, rising and falling to a fate of I'll never get out 

From Spokane all the way across Montana then out to the Blood Reserve 

A black Levis jacket knocking them beers back on the bank of that river 

Underneath September skies inside the U.S. border 

He made his peace there just after his boots filled up with water 

I've been searching for the waves to carry us home 

To the ocean we all came from, where we'll all be returned 

I've been searching for the waves to carry us home 

To the ocean we all came from, where we'll all be dissolved 

The waves will wash away the misguided vision 

Of glory in a battlefield of a thousand corpses 

I've been searching for the waves to carry us home 

To the ocean we all came from, where we'll all be dissolved 

Out of many we are one
