[Verse 1]
Red tail light, middle of the night
Tearing down the road
Full moon sky like a bird on the fly, there she goes
No sad tear drops falling like a hard ran
Gone, gone, gone like a runaway train
[Chorus]
When the river don't flow and the sun don't rise
When the wind don't blow in the mountain high
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When a heart won't break and a fire won't burn
Time stands still and the world won't turn
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She'll come back to me
[Verse 2]
Took her things, Took off her ring
Threw it to the ground
Tell you my guess is she's probably in Memphis by now
Hands on the wheel, pedal pushed down
If I know her she's gonna turn around
[Chorus]
When the river don't flow and the sun don't rise
When the wind don't blow in the mountain high
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When a heart won't break and a fire won't burn
Time stands still and the world won't turn
Whoa, whoa, whoa
She'll come back to me
[Bridge]
One in a million, wishful thinking
Stars don't shine, love ain't blind
That girl's gonna change her mind
[Chorus]
When the river don't flow and the sun don't rise
When the wind don't blow in the mountain high
Whoa, whoa
When a heart won't break and a fire won't burn
Time stands still and the world won't turn
Whoa, whoa
She'll come back to me
Oh, she'll come back to me
Oh, she'll come back to me
Oh, she'll come back to me
