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
