Sabine River

She was leaned against the wall
 By an uptown market stall
 ♪
 She had defiance all in her eyes
 ♪
 You could tell she was alone
 And had seen a hard road
 Yeah, she knew something about falling Dominos
 Low on gasoline
 On the road to New Orleans
 The Santa Fe cuts the low sun on its way to Houston
 The last cars fade away and gone
 And the Sabine River flows on
 ♪
 She told me she was staying in the French Quarter
 Over by Esplanade
 ♪
 Said she'd come down from up north after going 'round back and forth
 "Looking for love, not knowing what it was," she said
 It's no surprise I was
 Telling myself lies
 Low on gasoline
 On the road to New Orleans
 The Santa Fe cuts the low down sun on its way to Houston
 Last cars fade away and gone
 And the Sabine River flows on
 ♪
 I asked her who it was in the picture on her bureau
 ♪
 She said, "That's my brother, we were very close"
 
 "Lost his life being reckless the way young men do"
 "He never stood a chance"
 "Thought he was bullet proof"
