Where the River Knows Her Name
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–10-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

Verse 1
We carved our names in that cottonwood tree,
By the bend where the water runs slow and free.
Barefoot days and mason jar nights,
We'd chase fireflies by the dashboard light.

She wore sundresses and that crooked grin,
Laughin’ loud in the summer wind.
The county fair rolled in each July,
We'd ride the tilt-a-whirl like we could fly.

Chorus
Where the river knows her name,
And the tire swing still hangs,
Where the wind hums our old refrain
Through the fields and the fence line lanes.
It’s a postcard town, but to me it’s more —
It’s her laugh, her touch, what we had before.
I go back in my mind, time and again,
To where the river knows her name.

Verse 2
There’s a little red barn off Highway 9,
We snuck a kiss ‘neath the “No Trespassing” sign.
She’d say, “This town’s too small for dreams,”
But she never looked more free to me.

Now she’s gone like the autumn smoke,
But the scent of her still rides my coat.
Every now and then, I drive real slow,
Past the fairgrounds, down to that old oak.

Chorus
Where the river knows her name,
And the tire swing still hangs,
Where the wind hums our old refrain
Through the fields and the fence line lanes.
It’s a postcard town, but to me it’s more —
It’s her laugh, her touch, what we had before.
I go back in my mind, time and again,
To where the river knows her name.

Bridge
Time moves on, but the echoes stay,
In the songs that the night frogs play.
I hear her voice when the crickets sing,
In that slow, sweet southern spring.

Final Chorus
Where the river knows her name,
And the tire swing still hangs,
Where the wind hums our old refrain
Through the fields and the fence line lanes.
She’s the heart of that town, runnin’ through my veins,
Like the water, wild and untamed.
I’m still there in the soft summer rain,
Where the river knows her name.
