Red Rag

I'm just a kid for being green I'm just a fool for feeling blue You make me scared, you call me yellow You're just a red rag to a bull I learned to swim when I fell into the river I had my first smoke when I caught myself on fire I learned how to drive when daddy died at the wheel Thank God I learned how to sing for my dinner I'm just a kid for being green I'm just a fool for feeling blue You make me scared, you call me yellow But you're just a red rag to a bull I learned how to fist fight when momma she dressed me Dressed me up in her heels Well, I learned how to balance and that attracts ladies 'Cause I've got that appeal You said your name was Scarlet You left me black and blue You stole all my colours And my deep purple CD, too I'm just a kid for being green I'm just a fool for feeling blue You make me scared, you call me yellow You're just a red rag to a bull I felt that I was right on your trail You see, I'm fluent in barroom braille Well you turned and you gave me a wink And I saddled up alongside you You said, "For starters, just buy me a drink" I'm just a kid for being green I'm just a fool for feeling blue You make me scared, you call me yellow You're just a red rag to a bull You're just a red rag to a bull You're just a red rag You're just a red rag Just a red rag to a bull
