[Instrumental Opening: bitter and gritty, deeply emotional] [Verse] She's got whiskey on the table And a stack of blue chips That I bet the ranch on Just to lose it to a trip [Verse 2] I just caught a glimpse Of those burning headlights As she kissed me on the cheek And said "This just ain't your night" [Guitar solo] [Chorus] Goodbye River Queen It was one hell of a ride I've seen the amber lights Shinin' between the blinds [Verse 3] She was born in El Paso With a target on her back A wanted deck of cards And a suitcase full of cash [Verse 4] And if she knew what was good She'd be miles away But that old ghost of Texas Is keepin' her in play [Guitar solo] [Chorus] Goodbye River Queen It was one hell of a ride I've seen the amber lights Shinin' between the blinds [Instrumental Outro: mourning guitar solo]
