One cold, black night of a colorado winter
It snowed on red mountain pass
We warned ev`rybody that the slide was runnin`
An` 5-5-oh was a mess
But outta the plowshed, south a` town
Come a blade with a flashin` blue light
We told that boy: "whatever you do,
Beware of the riverslide slide."
Now that plow-jockey knew he had a job to do
Been dodgin` them slides for years
But we all knew, deep down inside,
He was livin` with a thing called fear
`cause you don`t mess around with an avalanche, son
A lotta men tried, and died
Yeah, you get them plows past bear creek falls,
You lookin` at the riverside slide
Now all a` us folks around ouray county
Seen a lotta them cold, black nights
When the only thing movin` is a big ol` plow
Flashin` them weird blue lights
You drive them snowplows around these parts
You gotta have a real thick hide
`cause ya never quite know what time a` the night
You gonna die in the riverside slide
Well, it snowed six feet on the mountain that night
An` we knew what was comin` on down
An` so did the boy an` his flashin` blue light
When he rolled that blade outta town
Well, he took that plow up 5-5-oh
An` he felt it lean to one side
An` before he knew it, he was buried alive
At the bottom of the riverside slide
Yeah, all a` us folks around ouray county
Seen a lotta them cold, black nights
When the only thing movin` is a big ol` plow
Flashin` them weird blue lights
We found the boy in the early spring
Still settin`, the plow on its side
Yeah, ya never quite know what time a` the night
You gonna die in the riverside slide Send " Riverside Slide" Ringtone to your Cell
