Story behind the song
Awhile back I ended up with Leon Russell's drum machine.
I wrote 20 songs around everything left on it and there were 9 that he arranged which are denoted by the number he saved them on the machine as being included in the title, for example (Song 01).
I also included alternate versions of those 9 songs as instrumentals.

Lyrics
Muddy red river, where does it ever end
Swirling out in the dark
The bars are full, but it seems so dull
Fading away in the broken neon light
But now that Im the last one, I dont need no one
All in all in the light of Red River Sunrise
Everything's alright
I see the world through a magic mirror
Its cool an quiet now In the late phase in the Witching hour
The Red River
Sunrise is alright
Leon and Benny
From the Box Elder depot
Played Every Saturday
Ive got no ambition
In the 2nd story twilight
But now that Im the last one
I dont need no one
All in all in the light of Box Elder Sunrise
Everything's alright
I see the world through a magic mirror Its cool an quiet now In the late phase in the Witching hour
The Box Elder Sunrise is alright
Now Im In the city of a million mortals living souls in a thunder cloud
An Im still underground
Leon and Benny crossed over that river
Now the Wagon Wheel bridge is down
Permanent shelter
And Im still here in the Pudget Sound
But now that Im the last one I dont need no one
All in all in the light of The Seattle Sunrise
Everything's alright
I see the world through a magic mirror
Its cool an quiet now
In the late phase in the Witching hour
The Seattle Sunrise is alright
