Lyrics
Intro
gentle guitar and soft water sounds
Verse 1
Herd moves slow toward the river’s edgeWater sparkles under afternoon sunHorses steady as we take the ledgeOne by one until the crossing’s done (yeehaw!)
Chorus
Cross that river, keep the lineHold ’em close through the flowing tideCowboy spirit, strong and fineSafe on the other side
Verse 2
Current pulls but we push on throughLariats ready if a calf goes wideSunlight dances on the water blueHeart stays calm with the herd as guide
Chorus
Cross that river, keep the lineHold ’em close through the flowing tideCowboy spirit, strong and fineSafe on the other side
Verse 3
Banks grow near as the last ones passMuddy boots left behind on the shoreGreen grass waits in the open grassAnother mile and a little more
Chorus
Cross that river, keep the lineHold ’em close through the flowing tideCowboy spirit, strong and fineSafe on the other side
Bridge
When the water rises and the path feels longTrust the horse and the trail-born songWe’ll make it over, steady and strong (whoa!)
Outro
fading guitar and soft river flow
