Year: 1983 - Album: The Closer You Get...
Written by Bud McGuire/George Pearce
{Intro} Gm {Verse 1} Gm Dm I remember campin' all night down by the river's edge, C Bb Gm skinny dippin' in the bright moonlight, divin' off a ledge, Dm C skippin' rocks across the water, fishin' on an old trout line, Bb Am Gm gigging frogs 'till the early mornin', smokin' dried cross vine. {Chorus} C Gm Take me back home where the Red River rolls, send me back to Louisianne. C Gm Take me back home where the white water flows, to the Cajun promised land. C Gm Give me my line and my old pi rogue. Get me back as fast you can. Eb D Gm Take me back home where the Red River rolls. Eb F Gm Take me back home where the Red River rolls. {Verse 2} Gm Dm Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube, C Bb Gm eatin' dinner on the ground, made of fresh caught catfish stew. Dm C Lay awake at night when I hear a wildcat scream, Bb Am Gm tellin' tales around the campfire light about the girls in our dreams. (Repeat Chorus x 2 and fade)
