When you leave Louisiana from Texas, cross the Sabine River not the Red. (fix the first verse)
-DeepEllumMatt | 8/14/2003
sorry Deep...that's the writers words, not mine....nemO
-cowboynemo | 8/15/2003
when you leave louisana from Shreveport La you do cross the RED RIVER, and the songwriter does say RED RIVER. GREAT TAB
