Lyrics

Red Rover Mine Road

Me & Julie Ann never ran with the “in” crowd
We were both okay just to stay on our own
I’d pick her up every Friday night in my ragtop Malibu
We’d drive away from the city lights
And head out to…

Red Rover Mine Road in search of treasure
With the radio on and the top down
Time would fly by
Red Rover Mine Road, our private pleasure
Makin’ love underneath the wide open western sky

Now Julie Ann & me grew to be old married folks
Got a couple kids—life did us just fine
And now & then when the time is right
You know just what we do:
Drop the kids off for the night
And head back to…

Red Rover Mine Road in search of treasure
With the radio on and the top down
Time just flies by
Red Rover Mine Road, our private pleasure
Makin’ love underneath the wide open western sky

There’s nothing there but a big ol’ hole in the ground
Where they used to go dig for silver and gold
Not a bar or honky-tonk to be found
But the mem’ries that we mine there never grow old
---chorus---

A perfect place to get away to
There’s never anyone but us two
Makin’ love underneath the wide open western sky
